User Area
User Area is your personal workspace inside Patcher.
It brings your saved modules, racks, patches, manuals, and profile controls together.
User Area is only available to signed-in users.
What is in User Area
The layout is built around a few practical sections:
Modules you have added to your collection
Racks you are planning or maintaining
Patches you are documenting
Profile stats and contributor stats
Manuals gathered from your saved modules
Comments you have left around the platform
a floating global search field for workspace-wide filtering
The sections are paginated when they grow large, so you can move through bigger workspaces without one long scroll.
Why it matters
This is where Patcher shifts from public catalogue to working tool.
As your workspace grows, User Area becomes the fastest way to:
find your own data again
see what is missing
jump back into an unfinished idea
open manuals without leaving the app
Global search
The search field is not tied to a single section, but it is not one combined result list either.
Instead, the same query is applied across the main sections at the same time:
Modules search name, manufacturer, description, and tags
Racks search name and description
Patches search name, description, and tags
Manuals search module name, manufacturer, and description
Comments search comment text and author usernames
The Patches section also has its own tag filter, which works alongside the main search field.
Profile controls
User Area is also where you control whether your public profile is visible.
From here you can:
make your profile public or private
open your public profile
copy your public profile link
For public discovery, both the profile and the individual rack or patch need to be public.
A good first setup
Add the modules you own.
Create one rack.
Create one patch.
Check that your profile settings match what you actually want public.
That is usually enough to make the workspace start paying off.
