The table dock and the "Everything" sheet
The table dock and the Everything sheet: the forty-five entries, what each does, who sees it and its shortcut.
The dock is the column of shortcuts of the table: what you do every moment is one tap away, what you do every session two, and the rest lives in the "Everything" sheet. It holds forty-five entries; players see a part and the person running the game sees them all.
Where to find it
On the left rail of the table, under the tools, with the "Everything" entry at the end. In the "Everything" sheet (Everything at the table) all the entries are grouped by frequency, with a search box. On mobile the dock disappears and its entries are in the tools sheet; see The table on mobile and tablet. Every entry can also be found with the general search (Ctrl K).
Requirements and permissions
- Players see the player-level entries: dice, backpack, combatants, mixer, cameras, journal, world map, whiteboard, macros, cards, share screen, effects and comfort, customise, shortcuts, tour and clean screen, plus their expression.
- The person running the game sees them all.
- Some step aside in certain views: Combatants and Combat do not show in the theatre; Directory and modules does not show in the dock in any view, but stays in the right panel, in "Everything" and in search.
How they are grouped
Entries are split into three groups by how much they are used. It is the order they appear in "Everything".
- Every moment: one tap, always visible.
- Every session: two taps, from the session menu.
- Now and then: only in the "Everything" sheet.
"Everything" also shows What you use most, which lifts what you use most. Type in the search box (Search) to filter; if nothing matches, the sheet says so.

Common problems
"An entry in the guide is not showing for me." Look at the "Who" column: if it belongs to the person running the game, a player does not have it. If you are in the theatre, combat and combatants do not show in the dock.
"I cannot find the directory in the dock." It does not show in the dock in the views; press P, look for it in "Everything" or in the general search.
