At the top centre of the Aivia application screen there is a search bar.
From the search bar, you can navigate to tools, adjust the layout of the interface, perform various functions, and access tips and further information about the software.
The search bar also houses Active Tiles, which are tiles that adjust the Aivia layout and perform functions for common workflows.

Using the search bar
Activate the search bar
To type in the search bar, first either click in the search bar along the top of the Aivia window or press Ctrl + F. When the search bar is focused but nothing is typed in, Active Tiles, an Expand icon for the Active Tiles, a Reset Layout button, and recently run commands are shown and can be clicked.
Find commands in the search bar
As you type, suggested commands and links are listed below the search bar; you can click on an item in the search bar with the mouse or navigate through the options using the arrow keys and then press Enter on the desired command/link.
Some search bar commands can perform actions that do not correspond to specific buttons, panels, etc. in Aivia and instead perform multiple or more complex functions; these include the following commands:
Brighten Image
Create Mesh
Darken Image
Export Sample Video
Hide Objects
Show Objects
To view all available search commands, type everything into the search bar.
Navigational commands
Navigational commands, which have “Navigate To” in gray text under the command name, show the given tool/panel if it is hidden or collapsed or briefly highlight the tool/panel with a border (see below) to show you where the tool/panel is.
Using Active Tiles
To view Active Tiles, click in the search bar or press Ctrl + F. The Active Tiles that will appear depend on your license configuration. You may need to click on the Expand icon to see all available Active Tiles.
Click on an Active Tile to perform the associated layout adjustments and/or functions, which are described in the table below.
