# Home and Search

Home is where the work starts. Search. Create. Manage. Audit. Everything you open in the app begins here.

{% hint style="info" %}
Home is a ServiceNow page in the YouDesign Blueprints scope. What you see depends on your role, ACLs, and table access. Sections and actions you cannot use are hidden. See [Roles and Permissions](/blueprints/start-here/roles-and-permissions.md) for the full matrix.
{% endhint %}

## Templates

Use this section when you want to start from structure.

You can:

* browse available templates
* mark templates as favorites
* reorder favorite templates
* expand a template to inspect its tables, relationships, and rules
* create a new blueprint from a selected template

If you are a Blueprint Template Editor, you can also open **Manage Templates** from Home.

## Blueprints

Use this section when you want to continue existing work.

Each blueprint card shows:

* the template it is based on
* the blueprint name
* the lifecycle status
* the compliance score
* current counts for elements and relationships
* pending changes such as future-state additions or relationship deletions
* an **Open** or **View** action depending on your role

## Search on Home

The top search field searches across both templates and blueprints.

Search is useful when you know the name of a template or blueprint but do not want to scroll through long lists.

{% hint style="info" %}
Press **Ctrl+F** or **Cmd+F** to jump straight to the Home search field.
{% endhint %}

## Blueprint filters

Use the filter row above the blueprint list to narrow what you see.

You can filter by:

* **My Blueprints**
* **Status**
* **Compliance**
* **Template**

You can also sort the blueprint list by:

* **Recent**
* **Oldest**
* **A–Z**
* **Z–A**

These preferences are stored per user, so the app remembers how you like to work.

## Favorites

Mark templates as favorites to keep the ones you use most at the top of the list.

Favorites are useful when:

* your organization has many templates
* most users work repeatedly with a small set
* you want important templates to stay at the top

Favorites appear first in the template chooser and can be reordered.

## Creating a blueprint from Home

On Home, click **New Blueprint** to open the **Select a Template** dialog. Then:

1. Search by name or filter by **Category** to find the right template
2. Click the chevron on a template to inspect its tables, relationships, and rules first if you want
3. Click the template to create the blueprint

The new blueprint opens directly in the Blueprint Editor.

## Managing templates from Home

**Manage Templates** opens a side panel where you can:

* search templates
* filter by template category
* create a new template
* edit an existing template
* rename, duplicate, or delete a template

## Opening Auditor from Home

**Auditor** checks records against a template's rules. Open it from Home to run a compliance spot-check.

When you open Auditor:

1. choose a template
2. review the template rules
3. select elements to audit against those rules

See [Compliance and Auditor](/blueprints/review-and-share/compliance.md) for the full workflow.

## Blueprint card actions

The blueprint menu can include these actions:

* **Present**
* **Compliance Overview**
* **Commit Changes**
* **Rename**
* **Duplicate**
* **Copy link**
* **Share via email**
* **Delete**

{% hint style="info" %}
**Tips for working on Home**

* Use **favorites** to reduce template clutter
* Use **My Blueprints** when you only want your own work
* Open **Compliance Overview** before sharing a blueprint widely
* Use **Present** instead of edit mode during stakeholder meetings
