The navigation pane is located on the left. It gives you access to sets of administrative functions:

• Home. This is where you modify settings related to your account, manage Web sites and e-mail services.
• Sessions. When site and mailbox owners log in to control panel, or connect to the server via FTP protocol, they establish sessions that you can monitor and terminate.
• Help Desk. This is the help desk system integrated with your control panel. If your provider uses it, then you can use it to report your problems to provider's technical support staff.
• Help. Provides context sensitive help.
• Log Out. When finished working with control panel, click this icon to close your session.

Below the Help icon, there is a context help tip area. It provides a brief description of the current screen or available operations. When you place the mouse pointer over a system element or status icon, it displays additional information.

To navigate through Plesk, you can also use a path bar: a chain of links that appears in the right part of the screen, below the banner area. To return to a previous screen, use theUp Level icon in the upper-right corner of the screen.

To find items in lengthy lists, use search boxes located above every list of items: type a search criterion into the input box, and click Search. A list will show the items matching the search criteria. To return back to viewing all items, click Show All.

To sort a list by a certain parameter in ascending or descending order, click on the parameter's title in the column heading. The order of sorting will be indicated by a small triangle displayed next to the parameter's title.
