Navigating the App

Apostolic Path is designed to be intuitive and easy to navigate. Here's a quick tour of the interface.

Sidebar Navigation

The Sidebar​

The sidebar is your primary navigation. It appears on the left side of the screen on desktop, and behind a menu button on mobile. What you see in the sidebar depends on your role.

Everyone Sees​

  • Dashboard — Your personalized home screen with key stats and activity

Students See​

  • My Progress — View your personal New Birth and First Steps journey
  • My Studies — Your assigned Bible studies Outreach+
  • My Classes — Classes you're enrolled in Outreach+

Teachers, Leaders & Admins See​

  • Students — The full student roster for your church
  • First Steps — Track all students' First Steps progress
  • Bible Studies — Manage studies and lessons Outreach+
  • Classes — Manage classes, instances, and attendance Outreach+
  • Training Tracks — Organize classes into learning paths Harvest+
  • Reports — Church-wide analytics and reports

Admins Also See​

  • Church Settings — Full church configuration (info, users, roles, billing, etc.)
  • All Churches — Multi-church view for network churches Multiply+

The Header​

At the top of every page you'll find:

  • Page title showing where you are
  • Notification bell to access your notifications
  • User menu with your name, role, profile link, and sign-out option

Collapsible Sidebar​

Click the collapse toggle at the bottom of the sidebar to switch to an icon-only view. This gives you more room for content while keeping navigation accessible.

Keyboard Shortcuts​

Power users can press Ctrl+K (or Cmd+K on Mac) to open the command palette for quick navigation. Type to search for pages, students, studies, or classes and jump directly to them.

Mobile Navigation​

On mobile devices, the sidebar is replaced by a hamburger menu button in the top-left corner. Tap it to reveal the full navigation menu.

Switching Churches​

If you belong to multiple churches, you can switch between them:

  1. Click your user menu in the header
  2. Select Switch Church
  3. Choose the church you want to access

Your dashboard and data will update to reflect the selected church.

Display Density​

You can toggle between comfortable and compact display modes. Compact mode reduces spacing and shows more information on screen, which is helpful for managing large rosters.
