# Getting around in Bkper

After [signing in](https://bkper.com/docs/guides/using-bkper/signing-in.md), you land on the Book list page. From there you can navigate to the three other main pages: Transactions, Accounts, and Automations.

## Book list

The **Book list** is your starting point — a dashboard showing all the Books you have access to. From here, you can:

- Create a new Book
- Access pre-built templates like **Business General Ledger** or **Personal Finances**
- Open any Book to start working
- Manage [Collections](https://bkper.com/docs/guides/using-bkper/collections.md) for organizing related Books

This page appears when you first sign in or when you click the ← arrow next to the Bkper logo from within a Book. The Book list also shows the Book owner, total number of transactions, and monthly posted transactions for each Book.

When you open a Book, you land on the Transactions page.

## Transactions page

The **Transactions page** is where you record, view, and manage your financial transactions. It's the heart of your bookkeeping in Bkper.

From here, you can:

- Record new transactions manually or via automations
- Search and filter transactions with [queries](https://bkper.com/docs/guides/using-bkper/search-and-queries.md)
- Check, edit, or delete transactions
- Access the **Configuration Menu (⚙️)** for Book settings, Book properties, copying, or deleting the Book

Every Book opens to the Transactions page by default. In the top-left corner, you can switch between the Transactions and Accounts pages. The Automations page is accessible via the Configuration Menu (⚙️).

## Accounts page

The **Accounts page** is where you build and maintain your chart of accounts — the structure of assets, liabilities, equity, income, and expenses.

From here, you can:

- Create, edit, delete, or archive Accounts
- Create and organize Groups into hierarchies for reporting
- Hide, unhide, edit, or delete Groups

You can navigate back to the Transactions page by clicking **Transactions** in the top-left menu.

## Automations page

The **Automations page** is your control center for Bots and Apps that automate your bookkeeping.

Use it to:

- Install and configure Bots like the [Tax Bot](https://bkper.com/apps/sales-tax-bot.md) or [Exchange Bot](https://bkper.com/apps/exchange-bot.md)
- Manage Bank Connections that post transactions automatically
- Add your own automation bots, apps, or reports

Click the **← arrow** next to the Bkper logo (top-left) to return to the Transactions page at any time.

## Navigation tips
