Top Navigation Directory

The top navigation acts as a navigation directory, showing you exactly where you are in Storytell at all times. Instead of switching views blindly, you can see your current location and move between levels of your workspace with confidence.

How It Works

The navigation directory updates as you move through Storytell, reflecting your current path.

For example:

Projects → First Project → Assets → Market Research Report.pdf

This tells you:

  • You’re inside a specific Project

  • You’re viewing the Assets section

  • You’re currently focused on a specific Asset

Each level in the directory is clickable, allowing you to jump back to a higher-level view without losing context.

Why This Matters

The navigation directory is designed to:

  • Make it clear which Project you’re in

  • Reduce confusion when moving between Assets, Collections, and Concepts

  • Help you orient yourself quickly, even in deep workflows

We’re continuing to refine this experience to make your current location even more obvious, based on user feedback.

Tips

  • Use the navigation directory to quickly return to a Project or section without using the side panel

  • When opening assets or concepts, glance at the top bar to confirm where you are before taking action
