Under that you can see the 2 tabs, Layers tab, in that tab you can see all of your spaces and all of the layers of the elements you got in your project.

โ€œSpaceโ€ is actually another editor canvas.

In the second tab you can find anything that is related to your โ€œDesign Systemโ€ tab

At the top of the interface, you'll find essential design tools such as frames, shapes, iamge, text, and video.
