Now — and why it changed

The most visible change in the new Qolaba is the left navigation rail. In the old design, the sidebar listed eight items — many of which were top-level labels for tools that each had their own sub-pages (like Create Images expanding to Text To Image, Image To Image, and Image Editing). This made the nav feel long and required multiple clicks to reach a tool.
The new rail has just six items: Home, Chat, Image, Video, Audio, and Context. Each one takes you directly to a unified workspace — no sub-pages to expand. Tools that previously lived under Audio & Video are now mode cards inside a single Audio Studio or Video Generator page.
The old Dashboard (with its welcome message and tool tiles) has become the Home page. The tile grid is still there — scroll down past the prompt hero and you'll find the Apps section with quick links to every tool.
The old Dashboard had 8 nav items, several with expandable sub-menus. The main area was a landing page with shortcut tiles and a community banner.
The new Home is a starting point, not just a dashboard. Type anything in the prompt box and Qolaba routes you to the right tool automatically. Your recent work appears below so you can pick up exactly where you left off.
Scroll down on Home to reach the Apps grid. This is where the old Dashboard's shortcut tiles now live — a direct link to every tool from one place.
