The Study workspace is the heart of RangeSharp. It's where you build your ranges, edit individual hands, view your strategies, and compare ranges side by side — all in one place.

Unlike tools that separate editing and viewing into different apps, RangeSharp combines everything into a single workspace so you never have to switch contexts.

## Layout

The Study workspace has three main areas:

| Area              | Position    | Purpose                                                                         |
| ----------------- | ----------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Strategy tree** | Left panel  | Browse and navigate your strategies and spots using the decision tree           |
| **Range grid**    | Center      | The 13×13 hand matrix where you view and paint ranges                           |
| **Detail panel**  | Right panel | Action palette, frequency controls, notes, combo statistics, and training stats |

### Above the grid

* **Spot context bar** — Shows the current spot's position, action line, and stack depth
* **Toolbar** — Access overlays, compare mode, import/export, screenshot, and training shortcuts

## Working with the strategy tree

The left panel displays your strategies as a tree. Each strategy expands to reveal its spots, organized by position and action line.

* **Click a spot** to load it into the grid
* **Right-click** for context menu options (add spot, duplicate, delete, rename)
* **Drag and drop** to reorder spots within a strategy
* **Mastery badges** appear next to each spot, showing your training progress

## Working with the range grid

The center of the workspace shows the 13×13 hand matrix. This is a canvas-based grid for smooth, responsive interaction.

* **Click** a cell to toggle the active action on/off
* **Click and drag** across cells to paint multiple hands at once
* **Shift+click** a cell to open the frequency adjuster (Pro/Elite)
* **Arrow keys** to navigate between cells

The grid updates and saves automatically — you don't need to click a save button.
