We've refreshed the TubeBuddy navigation to make it easier to discover the tools that help your channel grow, find what you need faster, and manage your account in one place. Read below for a quick guide to what's changed and where to find everything.

What's new?

We've made it easier to find the tools that help your channel grow. Tools are now grouped into clear categories built around your channel's growth, such as audience growth, performance tracking, and channel operations. Previously, tools lived as icons inside each channel card on your Account page; now they're accessible directly from the sidebar.

Your Home page also helps guide your workflow by surfacing the tools and insights that matter most. From a single dashboard, you can view personalized recommendations, a snapshot of your channel's performance, competitor scorecards, and quick links to powerful tools like Next Ideas and Keyword Explorer.

New tools include:

• Next Ideas - research and plan your next video idea
• Niches - understand your audience with multiple niches
• TubeBuddy’s Experimental Features - visit the Labs section to see experimental features still in testing.

Where do I find my tools now?

Tools are now grouped under the following sections in the sidebar:

• Grow Audience - Next Ideas, Saved Ideas, Niches, Launchpad Dashboard, A/B Test Manager, Retention Analyzer, Keyword Rank Tracking
• Performance - Health Report, Competitor Scorecard, Brand Alerts
• Operations - Channel Backup, Canned Responses, Promo Materials
• TubeBuddy ‘Labs’ has its own dedicated spot in the sidebar (marked NEW). This is where you'll find experimental features still in testing.

How to manage multiple channels?

You can swap between channels in your account by clicking the channel/account name in the bottom left-hand corner of the sidebar. This will display each channel along with its license tier, so you can quickly select the one you want to work with.
 

What if I get a "Channel Mismatch" error?

This error appears when the channel you're logged into on YouTube doesn't match the account selected in TubeBuddy. To fix it:

Log in to or switch to the correct channel on YouTube first.
Then click the tool in TubeBuddy again.

The channel selected in your TubeBuddy account needs to match the channel you're currently logged into on YouTube for tools to work correctly

Where do I manage billing now?

Billing and license information have moved to Settings. Previously, this lived on the right-hand side of the old Account page - now it's consolidated under Settings for easier access.

What happened to my old Account page?

Nothing to worry about - your channel cards and the information on them are all still there. You can get to the same Account page you're used to by clicking Account in the new sidebar. (Click “Home” to return to New TubeBuddy experience.)

You may also notice that some existing tools still use our original style and menu. We're in the process of integrating our new homepage experience with our original features, so depending on which tool you select, you may see the original navigation instead of the new sidebar. This is expected during the transition, and we'll be rolling out updates as more tools move over to the new experience.

Going back and forth between old and new
If you find yourself on the original navigation (for example, after opening a tool that hasn't moved to the new experience yet), you can always get back to the new homepage by clicking Home in the sidebar. From there, if you ever need to revisit the original Account page, just click Account.
In short:

• Home = the new homepage and navigation
• Account = the original Account page and navigation

Is anything missing?

We're aware that Integrations isn't currently visible in the new navigation. We're working on this and will share an update once it's back in place. In the meantime, if you need to manage an integration, go to tubebuddy.com/account/Integrations
