3.1.2 Cross-page integration
The Workbench puts Moss chat and the current workspace on one screen. The right-hand workspace shows what you can view and operate on, centered on the current project, device, directory, and diagnostic state.
Live cards
The workspace Live page mainly includes these cards:
| Card | Behavior |
|---|---|
| Device management | Opens device management / add-device; when connected you can switch devices or verify SSH |
| Project workspace settings | Set or view the current remote project directory; shows a Git change summary when there is a repo |
| Send current context to Moss | Inserts references to project, device, directory, and change summary into the input box |
| Diagnostic snapshot | Collect device runtime status and send it to Moss in one step |
| Chat history | Open a past session and continue the task |
At the bottom of the Live page there are shortcuts: History, Terminal, Files. They switch panels inside the right workspace without leaving the Workbench.
Workspace panels
You can switch these panels at the top of the workspace:
| Panel | Role |
|---|---|
| Live | Device, project directory, Git status, diagnostic snapshot, and history entry points |
| Terminal | Open an SSH terminal in the current project directory |
| Files | Browse, upload, download, and edit remote files under the current directory |
| Changes | View remote Git status and initialize a repo when needed |
| History | Open local session history |
| Browser | Appears when Moss opens a webpage or preview; refresh, copy URL, or close |
Terminal, Files, and Changes all use the same current project directory. If no directory is set, the UI will first prompt you to choose an on-board or remote directory.
Integration with other pages
Flashing, Remote desktop, Code editor, On-board Agent, Local LLM, and Skill workshop in the left main nav are separate pages. Moss or workspace panels can take you there, for example:
- Open Flashing when you need to reflash the system.
- Open Remote desktop when you need a graphical desktop.
- Open Code editor for project-level development.
- Open On-board Agent to deploy or fix OpenClaw.
- Open Local LLM when you need local Ollama on this machine.
Offline and read-only states
The workspace header shows the current device, directory, and executable status:
| State | Meaning |
|---|---|
| SSH verified / executable | Terminal, Files, Changes, and Moss device operations are available |
| Offline snapshot / read-only | Existing info and history are viewable; device operations wait for reconnect |
| On-board directory not set | Terminal, Files, and Changes first prompt to pick a directory |
| No device selected | Moss can plan and answer knowledge questions; execution needs a device added first |
