Navigating a room
A Katalyz room is a website. Navigate it like you'd navigate any other site — but with a few helpful touches.
Your first visit — the guided tour
The first time you open a room, a short tour highlights the controls you'll use most. Each step spotlights one button with a short card, a N / total counter and Next (the last step says Got it). Click anywhere outside the card to skip it.
Step | What it points at |
|---|---|
Search anything | Search across everything in this room — pages, resources, people and messages. |
Navigate the room | Use these tabs to move between the sections of this space. (only when the room has more than one page) |
Find resources | Jump straight to the files and links shared in this room. |
Send a message | Leave a comment on any section or send us a message — we'll get back to you here. |
Share the room | Invite colleagues or share this space from here. |

The room layout
- Header — the main navigation between pages (click a page tab to jump to it)
- Left sidebar — a nav tree of pages with sections nested under each page
- Main area — the currently selected page's content
- Top bar (right side) — Search, Search files & links, Notifications, Comments, Share and your avatar
Moving between pages
Click any page tab in the header to jump to it — that's the fastest way. You can also use the left sidebar for a nested overview that includes sections under each page. Your place is saved — if you leave and come back, you land where you were.
Pages often include:
- Overview — intro to what the room covers
- Solution / Product — the core pitch or offering
- Pricing — commercial terms
- Contract — legal documents, often with a signature widget
- Next steps — tasks, timelines, calls to action
Your sender may have renamed these or added others.
Navigating within a page
Each page is made of one or more sections (visual groupings). Scroll normally — widgets (text, videos, CTAs, forms) stack vertically inside sections.
In the sidebar, you'll see sections listed under their parent page. Click any section name to jump directly to it.
Sidebar collapse
On smaller screens or by preference, the sidebar can be collapsed. Click the ≡ icon at the top to toggle.
Keyboard navigation
- Arrow keys — scroll
- Tab — move between interactive elements (buttons, inputs)
- Enter — activate the focused element
- Esc — close popovers, modals, comment threads
Search
Two search entries sit in the top bar:
- Search (⌘K) — finds pages, resources, people and messages across the whole room
- Search files & links (document icon) — opens the same search directly on the resources tab, for when you just want a file
Dark mode / light mode
Rooms respect your system setting (OS-level dark/light preference). If the room looks too dark or too light, you can usually adjust via your browser or OS settings — Katalyz follows along.
Moving through long content on mobile
Rooms are mobile-responsive. Pages become a dropdown at the top, and content reflows for smaller screens. For the best experience:
- Desktop or tablet for reading and reviewing content
- Mobile for signing documents and booking meetings (quick, focused tasks)
