Navigating the App

Now that you’ve created your account and joined a team, let’s take a tour of UltiStackr so you know where everything lives.

The Dashboard

The Dashboard is your home base. It’s the first screen you see after logging in, and it gives you a bird’s-eye view of what’s happening across all your teams.

Here’s what you’ll find on the dashboard:

• Greeting — A personalized welcome message.
• Stats Row — At-a-glance counts of your playbooks and teams.
• Coming Up — Your upcoming events across all teams, so you know what’s next on the schedule.
• Announcements — Recent channel announcements from your teams.
• Recent Playbooks — Quick access to the playbooks you’ve been working on most recently.

Pull down on the dashboard to refresh it. If some data can’t load, you’ll see a note about what’s missing with a way to retry, instead of the screen just looking empty.

Team View

Tap on any team from the dashboard (or use the team switcher) to open the Team View. This is where you’ll spend most of your time — it’s the hub for everything related to a specific team.

Getting Started Checklist

If a team is still getting set up, its home screen shows a Get started card with four core jobs:

• Build the roster
• Create a play
• Schedule a training
• Collect an RSVP or check-in

Each item is tappable and jumps you straight to the relevant screen. Items check themselves off automatically once the underlying thing exists — add a roster member, create a play, schedule an event, or record an RSVP/check-in, and that step marks itself done. Once all four are complete, the card disappears on its own.

If you’d rather not see it right now, tap the X to collapse it into a small Setup guide chip. Tap that chip any time to reopen the full checklist.

Team Tabs

Each team has a set of tabs that organize its content. Here’s a quick rundown:

Library

The Library is your personal space — separate from any specific team. It’s where you store and manage content that belongs to you. Every team also has its own Library, covering the same content types for that team’s shared work.

Both your personal Library and every team Library are a single unified browsing surface across six content types:

• Playbooks — Playbooks and plays. Personal playbooks can be shared with any of your teams, or kept private.
• Drills — Drills you’ve built or saved. Use them when creating practice plans for any team.
• Practice Plans — Practice plan templates. Reuse them across teams and seasons.
• Season Plans — High-level season planning documents that map out phases, practice sequences, and milestones.
• Assessments — Player or team assessment templates.
• Documents — Rich-text documents (formerly called Notes), with their own document-first reading and editing view. Documents can now be personal as well as team-owned — see Notes & Wiki for team wiki organization and the full editing experience.

Think of the Library as your coaching toolkit. Build content once, use it everywhere.

The Library landing page leads with a Continue working section of the items you’ve touched most recently, followed by a Browse by type rail showing live counts and last-updated info for each category. Each list can be viewed as a grid or a list and sorted with a type-appropriate sort picker — both choices are remembered the next time you open the library. Tap an item’s overflow menu for quick access to Open, Edit, Duplicate, Share, or Delete without leaving the list.

Longer libraries now keep loading as you scroll, and filter chips reflect full matching totals from the database rather than just the first batch currently on screen. The same incremental loading pattern also shows up in larger pickers such as Copy to and content-linking flows.

Collections

Collections group any mix of library items together for your own organization — a flat, non-nested list, not folders. An item can belong to as many collections as you like at once, and collection membership never changes who can see or edit an item; it’s purely organizational. Add an item to one or more collections from its overflow menu’s Add to collection option, which also lets you create a new collection on the spot with a name and an icon.

• Personal collections are private to you — only you can see, create, rename, or delete them.
• Team collections are visible to everyone on the team, but only coaches, managers, and the owner can create, rename, or delete one. Any team member can still add or remove items they have access to.

Favorites and Shared with Me

Every library item has a heart icon you can tap to add it to your own private Favorites — a personal shortlist that only you see, pinned above your other collections in the Library sidebar (or sheet, on mobile) and at the top of the Add-to-collection picker.

Shared with me is a separate Library entry listing everything that’s been shared with you individually — across playbooks, drills, practice plans, season plans, and documents — regardless of which collection, if any, it’s organized into.

Filtering and Sorting

Every library list — personal or team, any content type, and Discover too — shares the same Filters and Sort controls:

• Tap Filters to narrow the list by tag or skill. Active filters show as removable chips with a Clear all option, and each value shows a live count of matching items.
• Tap Sort to reorder the list with type-appropriate options (recently updated, alphabetical, and so on).

On desktop these open as a popover; on mobile they open as a bottom sheet. Both remember your last choice the next time you open that list.

Discover

Discover is UltiStackr’s public library — a place to browse content the community has made Public, including plays, playbooks, drills, practice plans, season plan templates, and documents. It’s a way to find and learn from what other coaches have built, not a marketplace: there’s nothing to buy or sell, and everything on Discover is free to view.

Discover uses the same Filters/Sort bar as your personal and team Library, so searching, filtering by type or tag, and sorting work identically in both places. It’s reachable any time you’re signed in — it doesn’t depend on any team or plan-specific settings to show up in your navigation.

An item only appears on Discover once its creator sets its audience to Public in Share. Team content is never listed on Discover, even if it’s Published or Unlisted — see Shared Content for the full audience model.

• Signed in: tap Save on anything in Discover to add your own copy to your personal Library. Items you’ve already saved show a saved indicator, and opening a shared or public link for something you’ve already saved takes you straight to your own saved copy instead of the read-only public page. Use Copy to Library on items with copying enabled — see Allowing Copies.
• Signed out: tapping Save prompts you to sign in or create an account first, instead of silently doing nothing.

If you have edit access to something you’re viewing through Discover or a shared link — for example, a play on a team you coach — an Edit action appears right on that page so you can jump straight into editing without hunting for your own copy.

Shortcuts

UltiStackr includes create shortcuts, scratchpads, quick access links, and desktop search for jumping into common work without opening each tab first.

For the full shortcut guide and all workflow patterns, use Quick Actions & Search.

Navigating Between Teams

If you’re on multiple teams, switching between them is straightforward:

• From the dashboard: Tap on any team card to jump directly into that team’s view.
• Team switcher: Use the team switcher in the navigation bar to quickly move between teams without going back to the dashboard.

Your position and context within each team are preserved, so switching back and forth is seamless.

Profile and Settings

Tap your profile avatar (usually in the top corner of the screen) to access your personal settings.

Profile Settings

• Display Name — The name your teammates see throughout the app.
• Profile Photo — Upload an avatar or photo.
• Email — View or update the email associated with your account.
• Password — Change your password (for email/password accounts).

App Settings

• Notifications — Configure which events trigger push notifications, emails, or in-app alerts. See the Notifications section for details.
• Appearance — Toggle between light and dark mode, or follow your system preference.

For a complete guide to account and preference management, see Account & Settings.

That covers the essentials. You now know how to find your way around UltiStackr’s dashboard, team views, personal library, and settings.
