# Get around in the Sigma home page (Beta)

> Explore the redesigned Sigma home page, including the updated sidebar, search, and documents section.

This documentation describes one or more private beta features that are in development. Beta features are subject to quick, iterative changes; therefore the current user experience in the Sigma service can differ from the information provided in this page.

This page should not be considered official published documentation until Sigma removes this notice and the beta flag on the corresponding feature(s) in the Sigma service. For the full beta feature disclaimer, see [Beta features](/docs/sigma-product-releases#beta-features).

If you are interested in joining a limited test group and enabling this feature in your Sigma organization, [contact Support](/docs/sigma-support) or reach out to your Account Executive.

The Sigma home page is redesigned and includes Sigma Assistant, ready to help you start working immediately.
