This page walks through navigation, the learning screen, and courses the way you use them day to day. LabEx on iPhone: sidebar with Learn, Courses, and Recents When you are signed in, the app uses a sidebar (or split view on iPhone) with two main areas:
  • Learning
    Your current lab experience: steps, chat, checks, and entry to the VM when needed.
  • Courses
    The full course catalog: paths, Continue Learning, and pagination. Pick a course, open its lab list, then tap a lab to start learning.

iPhone: profile and LabEx Pro

On iPhone, the sidebar toolbar includes:
  • Profile (avatar)
    Opens your profile in a sheet. From here you can review your account and sign out.
  • LabEx Pro / Upgrade
    Opens pricing in a sheet.
The Learning detail screen itself does not repeat the profile button in the top bar, so new users should remember: account and Pro are in the sidebar when you are in the main shell. If you open the course list from the learning screen as a sheet, that sheet may show profile in its own top bar for quick access while you browse.

Mac: account and pricing

On Mac, use the account row at the bottom of the sidebar for your profile. Upgrade / Pro opens the pricing window. Same account as on the web and iPhone. LabEx on macOS: Courses view with Continue Learning, catalog grid, and path filters

Recent labs

Under the main items, Recent lists labs you opened recently (from your LabEx timeline). Tap an item to jump back to that lab in Learning. You can refresh the list and collapse the section to save space.

Learning screen: the main workflow

The learning screen is the center of the app. Typical flow:
  1. Read the current step in the timeline.
  2. Use Labby in the composer: type a message or use shortcuts the lab provides.
  3. Use the primary button at the bottom for the current action, such as Continue, Complete, Re-check, or Skip, depending on the step.

Suggested questions

On middle steps, the app may show suggested questions. Tap one to send it and keep moving. The first and last step do not show these suggestions.

Solution, check, and feedback

  • Solution
    When available, opening the solution adds an assistant-style message into the same timeline. It stays there unless you remove it after a failure or explicit action.
  • Check
    Validation steps open a result panel so you see pass or fail clearly. If validation fails, the primary button can offer re-check.
  • Feedback
    On the last step, after you complete the flow, you may submit feedback in a sheet. After you send it, the app may move you to a next lab, a next course, or close the flow if nothing follows.
Some actions require LabEx Pro. If the server returns a permission error for a solution, the app can open pricing so you can upgrade. The composer at the bottom is where you talk to Labby (placeholder text may read like Ask anything in your language). The checklist and title row are how you jump between steps and open the course outline. LabEx on iPhone: lab instructions with the Labby composer and keyboard When a step runs an automated check, you get a clear pass or fail breakdown and shortcuts such as Back to VM so you can fix issues in the terminal, then re-run verification.

Course outline and switching labs

Use the title in the learning top bar to open the Labs sheet: course cover, grouped labs, progress, sometimes a next course link, and status such as In progress.
  • Switching to another lab in the same course updates the learning screen in place (no extra navigation stack).

Course catalog behavior

In Courses:
  • Continue Learning appears at the top when you have eligible in-progress courses.
  • Paths let you filter content. The app only shows paths that LabEx tags for iOS (Mac uses the same rule so both apps match).
  • When a path is selected, you can switch between path courses and popular courses filtered by that path (same idea on iPhone and Mac).
Choosing a course opens its lab list. Choose a lab to enter Learning.

Running VM hint on Learning

If you have a running VM for a different lab than the one on screen, the sidebar Learning row can show a back to running lab hint. Use it when you want to return to the session that still has a live environment.
