# Open the Capable command palette in Confluence

To open the Capable command palette in Confluence, press Command K on a Mac or Control K on Windows while you are in Capable, or use the Capable menu item. Type what you are looking for and pick a result: a capability, a macro, a diagram or image from the library, a template, or a help article.

## Before you start

* The palette is part of Capable for Confluence, the suite. Standalone Capable apps do not have it.
* It works inside Capable's own pages, such as the dashboard, rather than on an ordinary Confluence page. On a page, use the [Capable byline](https://help.gocapable.com/capable/the-capable-byline.html) instead.

## Steps

1. Open Capable, for example the Capable dashboard.
2. Press Command K, or Control K on Windows.
3. Type a name, such as a capability, macro, diagram or template.
4. Use the arrow keys or the mouse to pick a result.

## If it does not work

* Nothing opens: click inside the Capable page first so it has focus, then press the shortcut again.
* A capability is missing: an administrator may have hidden it, which removes it from the palette too.
* A help article about installing is missing: help search deliberately leaves those out. Use the documentation directly.
