Exploring various navigations of VB

Once you log in to Visual Builder, you will see three main navigations under the home page. It's really important to be familiar with each and every navigation before you start development as it will help you to choose the right navigation to do the right things.

The three main navigations of Visual Builder are as follows:

  • All Applications
  • Settings
  • Certificates

The following screenshot shows these three main navigations:
