# Introduction (/en/integrate/workbench/introduction)

The Workbench is a slide-up drawer that lives in the dashboard. Inspect resources, watch events, read logs, and check health without leaving the page.

The Workbench is the developer pane built into the dashboard. It opens as a drawer at the bottom of any page, lets you drill into a specific resource or trail of events without context-switching, and stays out of the way the rest of the time.

This page covers the things that are the same across every Workbench tab: how to open it, the controls in the header, and what each tab is for. Each tab gets its own dedicated page below.

## Open the Workbench [#open-the-workbench]

Look at the bottom-right of the dashboard for a small dock with a webhook icon. Click it.

The drawer animates up and lands open at a comfortable height. The first time you open it from the dock's webhook icon, it lands on the **Events** tab pre-filtered to the last 24 hours. Other dock icons open other tabs (the **Inspector** dock icon opens Inspector, etc.).

Once it's open:

* A drag handle at the top of the drawer lets you resize it taller or shorter.
* The **Full Screen** button in the top-right expands the drawer to fill the page. Click again to restore.
* The **Close** button in the top-right closes the drawer entirely. Open it again any time from the dock.

## The tabs [#the-tabs]

Four tabs across the top of the Workbench. Click any of them to switch.

| Tab           | What it's for                                                                                                                                                                  |
| ------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Events**    | Every webhook event your account has produced, with deliveries and attempts per endpoint. See [Events panel](/integrate/workbench/events-panel).                               |
| **Logs**      | Server-side request and error logs. See [Logs panel](/integrate/workbench/logs-panel).                                                                                         |
| **Health**    | Aggregated error groups and incident-style views. See [Health panel](/integrate/workbench/health-panel).                                                                       |
| **Inspector** | Drill into a single resource (Checkout Session, Payment Intent, Charge, Refund, Customer, etc.) and see everything around it. See [Inspector](/integrate/workbench/inspector). |
