To "navigate" means to "display a different semel".
Navigation can be absolute (using the Navigate menu):
or relative (to the current semel) (using the Navigate menu):
or you can navigate to the target semel in a 1-to-1 association by clicking on its "Navigate" button
or you can navigate to the target semels in a 1-to-many association using a to-do list
or you can click the mouse on any character in the right-hand-side, and you will navigate to the semel whose codification includes that character. (This is much faster than drilling down one semel at a time.)
