# Navigating the CERTInext Interface

CERTInext is organized around a left-hand navigation menu that provides structured access to all certificate lifecycle, key management, integration, and governance capabilities. The interface is designed to support both operational users and administrators, allowing quick movement between day-to-day tasks and strategic oversight functions.

The primary navigation sections include:

* **Dashboard** – Provides a consolidated, real-time view of certificate health, risks, and operational status across the organization.

* **Certificates** – Central workspace for managing certificate orders, Certificate Authorities, discovery of existing certificates, and automated provisioning.

* **Keys** – Visibility and governance of cryptographic keys, including key aging and strength indicators.

This structure ensures users can quickly locate relevant functions while maintaining a clear separation between operational actions and administrative configuration.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.certinext.io/documentation/getting-started/navigating-the-certinext-interface.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
