Workspace Quick Tour

Standalone Qwiki is organized into a distraction-free three-pane layout designed for fast scanning on desktop and smooth drawer navigation on mobile.

Light & Dark Reader Workspace

1. Top Header Bar:

   • Brand / Logo (⚡ QWIKI): Returns to the portal's default landing chapter. When browsing a sub-wiki, displays parent-to-child breadcrumbs for instant wayfinding.
   • Theme Toggle (🌙 Theme): Switches immediately between Light and Dark mode with cookie + head-script synchronization so page reloads never flash the wrong theme.
   • Login / User Menu (admin ▾): Unauthenticated visitors see Login; signed-in users see their account menu containing personal security settings and—for administrators—tools, utilities, and site administration modals.

2. Left Navigation Sidebar:

   • Live Search Input: Searches across document titles, descriptions, and body content across all enabled page types.
   • Category & Nested Folder Tree: Expandable top-level categories (📂) and nested sub-categories (📁), plus optional external/internal hyperlinks (🔗).
   • Resizable Divider: Drag the right edge of the sidebar (200px to 550px) to fit long chapter titles; your width and expanded folders persist across reloads.
   • Admin Authoring Controls: Signed-in admins also see New Document, + Cat, drag handles (⣿), and per-item gear buttons (⚙️).

3. Center Reading Canvas & Document Toolbar:

   • Sidebar Toggles ([ and ]): Collapse either the left navigation sidebar or the right Table of Contents to widen and center the reading canvas (1180px / 1360px).
   • Header Breadcrumb & Quick-Flip Arrows (< >): Shows the active category and lets you step directly to the previous or next chapter.
   • Action Buttons: Print/Save PDF, Share (?share=...), and—when logged in as Admin—Edit Content, Edit Details, Replace Document Content, 🕒 Revision History, Delete Document, and Send to Postbox.
   • Bottom Chapter Pager: Responsive Previous / Next Chapter cards at the bottom of every page keep sequential reading effortless.

4. Right Table of Contents:

   • Automatically generated from Markdown headings (H1–H3) with active scroll tracking so you always know where you sit within long chapters.
