The Web Console user interface is divided into these five main areas.

The Web Console User Interface that shows various parts

  1. Activity Bar: Contains icons to switch between different views. In our example, the Explorer view is active. These are the different views listed on the bar.

    important: The extensions in Web Console come prepackaged. You can't install or search for an extension on the Visual Studio MarketPlace. To see a list of installed extensions, click the ellipsis (...) on the Extensions Installed panel on the left side, and select Show Running Extensions.

    1. Explorer
    2. Search: Enables you to search and replace a text across the project
    3. Run and Debug: Enables you to run and debug your code

  2. Sidebar: Contains different views to assist you while working on your project. For example, you can see the Explorer view in our example. It lists the files in a DX project structure.
