# How to switch the active process in the main menu?

Many **Constructor** modules run in the context of the **active process** (bot): scenarios, broadcasts, and parts of settings. To switch bots quickly without scrolling a long list, use the **Process menu** block in the **main menu** (hamburger icon in the top bar).

## When you'll need this

- Your instance has many processes and you need to work with another bot.
- You often return to the same processes — **pin** them with the star icon.
- You want to find a process by part of its name without scrolling the full list.

## What to know

- **Active process** — the bot whose context Constructor modules use now (after switching, the page reloads as before).
- **Process menu** is **not** the [Process library](/en/scenariobuilder/explanation/what-is-process-library.md) page: the library lists all bots with filters and cards; the process menu only **selects the active** bot for your session.
- **Pins** (star) are stored **in your browser** per instance and user; another device may show a different pinned list.
- Clicking the **star** pins or unpins — it does **not** switch the active process.

## Before you start

- [x] You are signed in to Constructor with access to multiple processes.
- [x] You have access to at least two processes (otherwise the selector may be hidden).

## Step-by-step

### 1. Open the Process menu

1. Click the **main menu** icon (hamburger) in the top bar.
2. At the top of the panel, find **Process menu** — the heading shows the **name of the current active process**.

### 2. Search for a process

1. Click the field with the current process name — a full-width selection panel opens.
2. In **Search process**, type part of the name.
3. The list filters case-insensitively. Clear the field to show all available processes again.

### 3. Pin frequently used processes

1. In the list, click the **star** to the right of a process name.
2. Pinned processes appear **at the top** of the list (above unpinned ones).
3. Click the star again to unpin.

### 4. Select the active process

1. Click the **process name** in the list (not the star).
2. The page reloads — Constructor modules run in the context of the selected bot.
