## Available tabs

The Right Panel features four main tabs, each serving a specific purpose:

1. [**Resources**](https://docs.brainboard.co/cloud-design/broken-reference)**:** View and manage all resources in your architecture.
2. [**Code**](https://docs.brainboard.co/cloud-design/right-panel/code)**:** View and edit generated Terraform code.
3. [**Issues**](https://docs.brainboard.co/cloud-design/right-panel/issues)**:** Review architecture warnings and validation errors.
4. [**Deploy**](https://docs.brainboard.co/cloud-design/right-panel/deploy)**:** Configure and monitor CI/CD deployment pipelines.

## Best Practices

* **Use the&#x20;**<mark style="color:$primary;">**Resources**</mark>**&#x20;tab** for quick parameter checks and navigation between resources.
* **Use the&#x20;**<mark style="color:$primary;">**Code**</mark>**&#x20;tab** when you need to make bulk changes or prefer code-first workflows.
* **Check the&#x20;**<mark style="color:$primary;">**Issues**</mark>**&#x20;tab** regularly, especially before running Terraform plan or apply.
* **Configure the&#x20;**<mark style="color:$primary;">**Deploy**</mark>**&#x20;tab** once and use it to maintain consistent deployment workflows.
