# Control-plane flows

> Operate services visually with the topology canvas, inspector actions, and the timeline.

The Yalla control plane is a visual workspace over the same resources the CLI manages. The topology canvas shows the **organization → project → environment → service** hierarchy, and every action goes through the same audited Yalla API as the `yalla` commands below.

## Find a resource on the canvas

- Canvas nodes show service kind and status at a glance, never by color alone.
- Select a node to open the contextual inspector with its actions and tabs.
- Use the command palette for keyboard-first search, deploy, rollback, and navigation.

## Act from the inspector

Deploy, rollback, start, stop, variables, domains, and backups live on the selected resource — not on scattered pages. Every inspector action has a CLI equivalent, so agents and humans share one mental model. Rolling back from the inspector equals:

```bash
yalla rollback --to <deployment-id>
```

## Read the timeline

The timeline joins deployments, provisioning jobs, audit events, and failures into one stream. Copy the `request_id` from any failed entry before you [escalate to support](/docs/support).

> [!NOTE]
> The canvas ships keyboard alternatives and a non-canvas summary list, so every flow stays operable without a pointer.
