Use the project sidebar
The sidebar groups project actions by intent. It is a shortcut for the CLI, not a separate source of truth: the status view tells you which copy is newer before an action changes it.
- Project: refresh, doctor, open workbook, and open documentation;
- Modules/UserForms: create, rename, delete, reveal source, and open procedures;
- Execution: pull, push, run, tests, save, and session start/stop;
- Formulas: pull and open formula snapshots;
- Recovery: inspect status, roll back, prune backups, and clear quarantine.
Actions operate on the configured project. Check the status view before destructive or source-of-truth-changing actions. In particular, choose Pull after edits in Excel/VBE, choose Push after edits in VS Code, and choose Save only when a live session has changes you mean to keep. If the status is uncertain, open the state model instead of guessing.
