A quick reference for getting around the MalChela web interface: what greets you on first launch, and what each button in the top toolbar does.

Home & At a Glance

Home is the PWA's default/startup screen — it displays the MalChela ASCII art, a rotating koan, and an At a Glance stats card summarizing the current workspace at a glance:

Field	Shows
Cases	Open vs. closed case counts
Detections	Number of rules currently loaded from `detections.yaml`
API Keys	How many of the supported API key files are configured (e.g. `4/12`)
MalChela Tools	How many cargo-built MalChela binaries are present in `target/release/`, out of the total `tools.yaml` expects (e.g. `17/17`) — this is the count referenced in Installation and troubleshooting build issues
Integrations	How many configured third-party tools (from `tools.yaml`) are actually found on `PATH`
Update Check	Whether a newer commit is available on the tracked branch — skipped automatically when Offline Mode is enabled

The Home screen reloads automatically whenever you click the Home button in the toolbar, refreshing all of the above.

Left to right:

Icon	Button	Opens
	Home	The landing screen — ASCII art, koan, and the At a Glance card described above.
	Analyze	The Analyze target picker — point it at a file, folder, `.app` bundle, `.dmg`, or `.pkg` and it auto-runs every tool File Miner suggests.
	Cases	The case management browser.
	Hide Tools Panel	Collapses/expands the left tool sidebar, so the console can use the full width. Persists across reloads.
	About	Version and feature summary.
	Configuration	Dropdown with three items (see below).
	Upload Files	Upload a local file to the server for analysis — useful when the browser and the MalChela server aren't on the same machine.
	MITRE Lookup	The standalone MITRE ATT&CK lookup panel — no internet required.
	Notebook	A scratchpad for recording strings/IOCs/notes across a session.
	View Reports	Browse and open any previously saved report directly.
	User Guide	Opens this documentation site in a new tab.
