## Platform Navigation

The Sight Machine Manufacturing Data Platform navigation has been updated to improve the speed of your workflow and product orientation.

#### Main Navigation

Product lines have been reorganized within the main navigation for ease of access:

- FACTORY **CONNECT**: Edge API Keys
- FACTORY **BUILD**: Workspace Management for data pipelines along with model visibility for Facilities, Machine Types, Machines, and Part Types
- FACTORY **ANALYZE**: Manufacturing Applications, Dashboards, Cookbooks, and others

#### Top Navigation

The navigation extends your ability to access key tools from across the platform. You can reach specific Dashboards, Analysis Applications, Data Tables, and Cookbooks from anywhere within FACTORY **BUILD**. This approach also paves the way for updates to other major sections of the product.

## Workspaces Visibility Upgrades

#### Statefulness

*Stateful operators* are now shown in a darker color in Pipeline Builder, and *stateless operators* are now shown in a lighter color. A new **Operator Legend** in the canvas menu describes the colors. In addition, the background color of the canvas has been changed from a grid to a solid color.

When selected, these operators change their color slightly.

**NOTE:** Statefulness can’t be determined while an operator has a validation error, so stateful operators may appear to be stateless while the error is occurring. This is because an operator’s configuration sometimes determines whether it is stateful or not, so the configuration must be valid for the determination to be made.

Statefulness is shown in the Deployed view as well, where errors and warnings are overlaid. These kinds of errors do not prevent operators from being displayed as stateful, like validation errors on a Draft do.
