1. Model name or restricted state of the model. Can be either:
   1. **Read only:** you only have [viewing access](https://help.qonic.com/documentation/qonic-dashboard/models/model-access-rights) to this model, or you have opened a [public sharing](https://help.qonic.com/documentation/qonic-dashboard/models/public-sharing) key, or Qonic has automatically enabled read only mode to prevent a [memory crash](https://help.qonic.com/other/faq#qonic-crashes-in-the-web-browser.-whats-going-on).&#x20;
   2. **Multi model:** you have opened multiple models simultaneously. You can make changes across the currently opened models that you have modeling or data editing access rights to. Open the [Browse panel](https://help.qonic.com/documentation/qonic-application/querying-and-reporting/browse-panel) to pick the *active* model: this is the model that *newly created* geometry will be added to.&#x20;
   3. **Conflict solving:** you are in a dedicated conflict solving mode because your previous changes conflict with the latest public version. Solve all conflicts before continuing to edit the model.
   4. **Version Compare:** you are currently comparing two versions of a single model. This is a read-only mode dedicated to displaying the differences between these two versions. To compare two versions of a model, go the the [model version history](https://help.qonic.com/documentation/qonic-dashboard/models/model-version-management), select one model version, click the Compare button and then select another model version.
   5. **Nothing is displayed here:** there are no restrictions, you can modify the model.
