# Finding your way around

The surfaces you will actually use: the coach home, the composer, the call, the Training Lab and configuration.

Your workspace is branded for your organisation, so colours, names and the coach's face will not match a screenshot from anywhere else. The structure underneath is the same.

## The coach home

Where you land. It holds three things worth knowing about.

<div class="danat-row"><b>Coach selector</b><span>Top left. Switches between the coaches your account runs. Your history stays with each coach, so switching does not lose a thread. The platform remembers your last selection, so if a screen looks wrong, check which coach you are on.</span></div>
<div class="danat-row"><b>Button row</b><span>Above the composer. Prepared ways in, specific to your account and your current role. See <a href="/docs/coaching/coach-buttons">Coach buttons</a>.</span></div>
<div class="danat-row"><b>Composer</b><span>The message box. Typing is one of two ways to work; the other is a call.</span></div>

## The call

The live spoken conversation. The coach appears on camera and you talk to it. This is the default way to bring a deal, not an advanced mode. See [Bring a deal to a call](/docs/coaching/bring-a-deal).

You will be asked for microphone access the first time. If the browser blocks it, nothing tells you loudly; the call simply never starts properly. See [Troubleshooting](/docs/reference/troubleshooting).

## The Training Lab

Where roleplays live. You pick a roleplay, pick the persona, and run a spoken conversation against a buyer. Afterwards you get a graded read.

What you see there is what is configured for the coach you are currently on, so if the list looks unfamiliar, check the coach selector before anything else.

## Configuration

Administrators get a configuration area covering users and teams, the knowledge base, personas, products, scorecards and roleplays. It is described through the [Administration](/docs/admin/users-teams-roles) section.

Some parts of a coach, its prompts, its button set and which skills it carries, are configured by your provider rather than in this area. See [Coach configuration](/docs/admin/coach-configuration).
