## Core Concepts
Ideanote’s structure is modular and built for clarity and scalability across use-cases.
Workspace → Sections → Idea Collections → Phases → Ideas → Fields.
Ideas move through phases, where users can take action, e.g. rate, comment, expand. 
Users can be in Teams and access to Idea Collections and Phases is fine-grained on an invite basis.
ROI is tracked via charts and in-app automations work on a trigger-condition-action basis, similar to Zapier.
