The Model Editor is the primary applet you will use when editing Taglo Models. Viewing some of our [**video tutorials**](https://help.taglo.io/start-here/tutorials#introductory-tutorials) is a great way to get to know the interface.

### Editor Tabs

You can access the various functions of the Model Editor by navigating through the tabs on the left-hand side of the application from **Variables** to **Excel Outputs.**

{% hint style="info" %}
Use the `Ctrl + q` and `Ctrl + Shift + q` [**shortcuts**](https://help.taglo.io/using-taglo-software/the-taglo-interface/keyboard-shortcuts) to move quickly between tabs
{% endhint %}

Each tab displays a [**List View**](https://help.taglo.io/using-taglo-software/the-taglo-interface/list-views#overview) showing different components of your model. Continue reading the documentation to understand each one.

The Model Settings bar is positioned at the top of the Model Editor, and can be hidden or shown as desired using the expander button at the top left.

The settings bar allows you to edit Model Timings, Scenarios and Sensitivities, and perform various other functions, each of which is described in more detail in the relevant section of documentation.
