[Music]

all right now let's talk about

navigating content on d uh there's quite

a few ways of navigating your content

there's navigating other people's

content navigating your own content

navigating your team's content um so

let's let's kind of walk through some of

the main things here so all right so

right now we're here on the homepage

this is where you're going to land if

you go to Dune doccom

uh you'll have your nav bar here at the

top where you can create go to your

library discover you can search you can

check out your pricing plans go to the

documentation switch to dark mode uh and

there's also a few other options here

around dun con uh and submitting

feedback and applying for jobs go in our

Discord as well uh there's also a

contact switcher here where you can

switch between your account and your

team accounts um so if you're ever let's

say in the library and you wanted to

switch you to a different view then I

could go here and switch to Dunes view

per se hopefully a lot of this is

self-explanatory but on the Discovery

page uh which is our homepage you have

um dashboards that can be shown and you

can filter for just queries as well if

you want to only show queries um these

are going to be the things that are

trending by views by stars you can see

some of our trending topics here as well

um if you want to sort things uh by that

so you can also find you know dashboards

by topic you can also see our famous uh

wizard leader board here that combines

teams as well as

Wizards uh and once you're more familiar

with that you can go to your library uh

the library can be complex so your

library has your folders where you can

always create a folder and then move

cont cont whether it's a query or a

dashboard to a given folder um you can

see your schedules you can see any

materialized views you've created as

well as any data you've uploaded I'll

change it to the Dune team so I can have

an easier time of seeing this right this

would be where you manage and delete

some of your data sets um alerts

schedules Etc right so everyone's work

is all in one place so you can see for

the Dune team we've got quite a few uh

queries and folders and dashboards in

here um so sometimes you might want to

go and search for specific things within

your library uh this can be confusing

but you want to use this search here not

this search up here so I'll use this

search here to search like Dex um and

get different Dex related queries down

here as well all right now let's talk

about global search uh so when you

search Global search you have a few

types of content you have your query and

dashboards topics as well as creators uh

and there's also advanced search right

so when it comes to Advanced Search uh

there are a few kind of filters that you

can use uh to see that check that title

includes decks or that we're searching

for specific tags or searching for a

specific author right so I could do

author um

LMA and this will search for Dex content

that only LMI has created right um

updated before or after I think is very

key especially in this space uh you

probably want for example decks updated

after um let's do 2024 oh let's see

what's what's last

month right so I might do this to see

okay updated only within the last two

months and you can actually see the

updated at here so that way you're

getting the most upto-date information

um getting smart about this kind of

advanced search will help help you a lot

when you're looking for um when you're

looking for data all right uh the other

kind of search that might be useful for

you is you might want to be able to do

code search uh right so to able to do

code search you'll see here there's a

Code thing um you're actually searching

SQL text right so I might want to say I

want to see queries that are querying

Dex traits right and I'll filter for

only queries

um and this will give me only queries

that have Dex trades in them somewhere

right so this can be very handy when

you're trying to figure out like

relevant queries queries to learn from

for your own work uh lastly I'm sure

you've heard us mentioned there's users

individual user accounts and team

accounts anyone can create a new team

There's No Limit to Your teams um the

important thing is that teams can have

multiple of people inside so you can

share your work uh you can have viewers

editors and admins obviously for the

Dune team we're all kind of admins in

here uh you can manage your subscription

in here as well which is also where you

see a deeper dive of your credits and

your usage so you can see your total

usage total storage um you can also

export your usage in a CSV file if you

want to go more granular into how

credits are being spent on your team um

and if you go to your individual account

there's some other account settings for

your password email etc etc that you

might want to uh have in here as well
