# Explore Your Project

> Navigate and understand your dbt™ project in the Code IDE: browse and search files, jump to definitions, and visualize lineage and the catalog.

This section covers everything you use to find your way around your dbt™ project and understand how it fits together: browsing and searching files, jumping between definitions, and visualizing model lineage and documentation.

## Find your way around

The left icon strip holds the navigation tools. Open a panel with its icon; click again to collapse it.

| Icon | Panel                                                       | What it does                                             |
| ---- | ----------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------- |
| 📄   | [**Explorer**](/products/code-ide/explore/file-explorer)    | Browse your repository file tree and quickly open files. |
| 🔍   | [**Search**](/products/code-ide/explore/search-and-replace) | Find and replace across every file in your repository.   |

The same icon strip also holds Source Control and GitLens, covered under [Commit & Ship](/products/code-ide/version-control/index).

## Understand your models

The **Lineage** and **Catalog** tabs in the bottom panel update automatically for the model you have open, based on your current Git branch.
