Buttons for switching pages appear at the bottom of the UI.
DaVinci Resolve is divided into seven main pages of functionality, each of which facilitates a different specialization of a typical post production workflow, and each of which can be accessed using buttons at the very bottom of the DaVinci Resolve interface. These buttons are organized in order of workflow, and they’re always available, letting you quickly switch between importing media, fast editing, detailed editing, compositing, grading, audio mixing, and outputting your project in a structured manner.
Minimizing the Resolve Page Bar
If you right-click anywhere within the Resolve Page bar at the bottom of the DaVinci Resolve UI,
two options appear in a contextual menu: “Show Icons and Labels” and “ Show Icons Only.” If you show icons only, the Resolve Page bar at the bottom takes less room.

Switching Pages Using Keyboard Shortcuts
You can also switch pages using the following keyboard shortcuts, which can be referenced from the Workspace > Switch to Page submenu.
Hide Pages You Don’t Use
You can leave the page navigation bar showing and just hide the buttons of specific pages. For example:
— If you like the quick navigation of this bar but there are pages you simply don’t want to use
— If you’re setting up a DaVinci Resolve workstation for an artist making specific contributions to a project, and you want to hide easy access to pages of functionality they won’t (or shouldn’t) be using; this can be especially useful in collaborative workflow projects
You can disable/re-enable each page’s buttons using the Workspace > Show Page submenu.
Effects and adjustments that have been applied on hidden pages continue to affect the current project, they’re only hidden, and you can still navigate to them using the Workspace > Switch to Page submenu commands or keyboard shortcuts.
