Sections

A Section is a top-level, collapsible group at the top of your workspace’s page tree. Sections hold Pages and Folders, and are the widest layer of the navigation hierarchy: usually one per team or area, like Sales, Success, or Support.

​

Creating a section

A new workspace starts with no sections. You build the tree yourself. Custral doesn’t ship pre-named sections; the built-in surfaces (Inbox, Calls, Tasks, and so on) are reached from the Modules rail and the mode rail instead.

​

What a section holds

• Pages: each opens a surface (a dashboard, a database view, or a document) with one or more view tabs.
• Folders: pages that hold other pages, so a busy section stays organized. Folders nest a level or two deep.

Collapse a section from the chevron on its header to tuck away what you’re not using. A section’s ⋯ menu covers renaming it, adding a page, creating another section, and deleting the section (and everything in it).

​

Shared across the workspace

Sections, their pages, and the order they appear in are shared with everyone in your workspace. They’re saved on the workspace, not stored as a personal layout. Inside a section, drag pages to reorder them or nest them into a folder, and those changes persist for the whole team.

​

Permissions

A section is a permissioned entity. By default it inherits access from the workspace, so everyone can see it. You can restrict a section (and every Page and Folder inside it) to a specific group; for example, a Finance section visible only to the Finance team. Pages inherit their access from the section they live in unless you override them individually. See Permissions for how access grants cascade.
