# Hands-On Tutorial: Explore the Flow[¶](https://knowledge.dataiku.com/latest/courses/basics/explore-flow/explore-the-flow.html#hands-on-tutorial-explore-the-flow "Permalink to this headline")

Note

This lesson is a continuation of the Basics 102 Hands-On Tutorial: Group the Data.

The **Flow** is the visual representation of your project pipeline. At this point in the project, it contains only three datasets and two recipes.

## Flow Navigation[¶](https://knowledge.dataiku.com/latest/courses/basics/explore-flow/explore-the-flow.html#flow-navigation "Permalink to this headline")

You can navigate to the Flow through the first menu to the right of the project title. You can also use the keyboard shortcut (G+F).

Note

You can find a full list of keyboard shortcuts in the documentation.

Click on the Flow icon next to the project name at the top of the page to go to the project **Flow**.

## Visual Grammar[¶](https://knowledge.dataiku.com/latest/courses/basics/explore-flow/explore-the-flow.html#visual-grammar "Permalink to this headline")

Take some time to study the Flow. You’ll notice that shapes and colors have specific meanings in Dataiku.

* A blue square represents a dataset.

* A yellow circle represents a visual recipe.

* The icons on the objects indicate the type of dataset or recipe.
