Overview of Main Screen
This topic describes the layout and controls of SwaggerHub Explore's main screen.
When you open SwaggerHub Explore, you see the following icons on the left toolbar:
Explore. This is the main SwaggerHub Explore page. This is your main work area, and it displays tabs for each of your current operations.
Spaces. You can group API operations into collections, like folders of bookmarks. For more information, see Save Operations in Spaces.
History. This lists a log of 1000 previous operations in descending order by date.
Across the top of the screen are tabs, like standard web browser tabs. All tabs are closed when you exit SwaggerHub Explore. You can retrieve previous tab contents and re-run operations from the History log.
The main screen (the Explore tab) also includes the following areas:
