Finding your way around Display Link

Display Link is organised as a hub and spoke. After you log in you land on the Dashboard — a grid of large tiles, one per major area. There is no permanent left-hand sidebar on desktop; you move between areas from the Dashboard (or by going straight to a URL), and every area links back to the hub.

The top bar

Every page is wrapped in the same slim top bar, with the area you opened shown below it.

On the left is your account name. It is a link — click it to return to the Dashboard from anywhere.

On the right are three controls:

• Theme toggle — a moon icon (switch to dark) or sun icon (switch to light). Your choice is saved to your account, so it follows you across devices.
• Help — the ? button opens the help centre in a new tab.
• User avatar — a circular badge with the first letter of your name. Click it for the user menu (your profile, account switching, view options, and sign out).

There is no breadcrumb bar and no global search in the shell — navigation is tile- and URL-driven, and search lives inside each area (Drive, Displays, Playlists and so on each have their own search box).

On a phone

On a narrow screen the top bar is replaced by a hamburger/drawer menu listing the same areas — Dashboard, Playlists, Products, Drive, Designs, Displays, Queue System, Brand Kit, Settings — plus the profile, account-switch and sign-out actions. The desktop/mobile split is automatic, but you can force either one with Mobile View / Desktop View in the user menu.

Overlays that can open anywhere

A few surfaces are not pages but overlays that open on top of whatever you are working on:

• The user menu / profile / account switcher (from the avatar).
• The feed editor and the flow editor, when you edit a data feed.
• The media picker, embedded into layer editors, the playlist editor and elsewhere.
• Toasts — short success/error notifications that appear top-right.
