The following is the framework of the Source user interface:

*   **Primary navigation**: The sidebar on the left rail that provides persistent access to the homepage and high-level product routes.
*   **Top bar**: The header shell at the top that contains the dynamic breadcrumb trail. As you navigate in the interface, the shell updates these breadcrumbs based on the application's internal state.
*   **Main context window**: The container that functions as the execution environment for loaded web components.
*   **Secondary navigation**: The internal navigation of the product currently in view.

The following image illustrates the sections of the Source user interface with labels:
