# Account, Credits and Workspaces

Credits and workspace management were buried in the sidebar. Credits & Billing was a nav item you'd visit occasionally; the org switcher was inside the top-right profile dropdown. Neither surfaced the information you needed most — how many credits do I have right now? which workspace am I in? — without clicking away from what you were doing.

In the new design, both are always visible at the top of the left sidebar. The workspace block shows your org name, workspace name, tier, and current credit balance. You never have to leave your current page to check credits or switch orgs.

### Before

![Old Credits & Billing page showing Organization Credits & Billing heading, Qolaba Organization Monthly Credits section with 5939 credits remaining and 49 members, and a Credit Utilization table with Date & Time, Type, Quantity columns listing recent usage entries.](/files/a527610ba73e0ff12b187ac237fcab05ac0d2ea8)

Credits were a page you visited — you couldn't see your balance at a glance. The utilization table was useful for auditing spend, but required navigating to it.

### After

Your credit balance and workspace are always visible in the sidebar. No navigation required — the information is ambient. The full Credits & Billing detail page (utilization table, top-up, invoices) is one click away from the workspace block.
