Navigating New Expensify

New Expensify features an intuitive, cross-platform navigation experience that makes it easy to access key tools like Inbox, Reports, Workspaces, and Account settings. This article outlines how to navigate New Expensify on both desktop and mobile.


Left-hand bar (LHB) Navigation

The vertical left-hand bar is the primary navigation hub in your account. It includes:

  • The Expensify logo, which acts as a Home button and takes you to your Inbox
  • Top-level tabs:
    • Inbox
    • Reports
    • Workspaces
    • Account
  • The Global Create button for quick access to actions like creating reports, expenses, invoices, and chats

Inbox

The Inbox is your New Expensify homepage. It shows:

  • Smart reminders to submit, approve, or reconcile expenses
  • Real-time updates on recent actions, flagged reports, or incomplete tasks
  • The list of chats you’ve started with other employees in your organization

Inbox items are dynamic and personalized based on your role and activity. Clicking an item opens the relevant screen or starts a suggested action.


Reports Tab

The Reports tab consolidates all filtering and reporting tools:

  • A Workspace filter is located inside the Filters menu
    • You can select a single workspace to refine the report list
    • Filters and queries update automatically to match your selections

Note: This Workspace filter replaces the older workspace switcher.


Workspaces Page

The Workspaces tab helps you manage everything related to your company or personal workspaces. Whether you’re creating a new workspace, editing an existing one, or managing features like billing and card connections, this section is your main hub.
