Working with command bar

Last updated on Apr 10, 2024

The command bar is a key feature in Chatwoot that enhance productivity. It allows you to perform a lot of actions with just a few keystrokes. You can access the command bar using ⌘ + K on macOS or Ctrl + k on Windows and Linux from anywhere on the Chatwoot dashboard.

Once opened, choose a specific page to navigate directly or select an action to perform. The command bar also offers smart action suggestions based on your current location in your dashboard.
