## **Workspace**

The workspace occupies the largest part of the interface. This is where you make all settings and control ABB BuildingPro.

## **Context bar**

The context bar is located above the workspace. The context bar is dynamic. This means that its content changes depending on what is displayed in the workspace.

The context bar shows the name of the current workspace, as well as the [↗ Breadcrumbs](/collection/english-v14/foreword/controls.md#breadcrumbs) are displayed. Breadcrumbs can be used to quickly navigate to the higher-level menu items.

In some cases, the context bar may contain additional tabs. These tabs are used to select further submenus.
