# Dashboard Navigation

The dashboard sidebar groups tasks by what you are trying to do. The layout depends on your account type (individual, collective, organization, or fiscal host) and your role on that account.

If you use the **Sidebar Reorganization Incoming/Outgoing** preview feature (enabled by default for many accounts), money-in and money-out sections use the labels below. See [Preview Features](/advanced/preview-features.md) to turn this on or off.

## Account switcher

Use the account switcher in the top-left corner to move between profiles where you hold a role (personal account, collective admin, organization admin, fiscal host admin, and so on). The sidebar updates to show tasks relevant to the selected account.
