Command bar is a widget that pops up in the center of your screen that allows you to create new things in Heartbeat, navigate around the platform and actually access all of our help guides and documents. It allows administrators to quickly perform actions, navigate settings, and access help resources without manually searching through menus.
Where to find the command bar
To open the Command Bar, use the keyboard shortcut Command + K on macOS or Ctrl + K on Windows. Alternatively, click the "Command" button located in the bottom right sidebar of your community interface.
