# What's in the Advanced view's menu bar popover?

In the Advanced view, clicking the menu-bar icon opens a popover with your status and every main action:

- **Header** — a status icon, the version and a one-line summary such as *All systems normal*.
- **Status block** — the drive, automatic actions, quiet hours, idle time and last run.
- **Two cards** — free space on your internal drive and your external drive.
- **Free Up Space Now** — the primary button for the day-to-day clean-up, with live progress.
- **Paired actions** — Stop Service and Pause, Run Rules Only and Dry Run, Clean App Caches and Rollback Last Batch, plus Data Transfers, Cloud Accounts and drive buttons.
- **Licence card and footer** — Log, Rules, Inspect, Help and More.

Switch views in **Settings → Interface**.
