# User Interface

SpecMap's UI is broken down into several areas:

1. The [backlog explorer](Backlog_Explorer.md) on the left of the screen lists your work items. You can drag these work items onto the map as user stories.
1. The [map area](Map_Area.md) contains your story map itself. This is where you can assign user stories to user activities, prioritise stories as well as assign slices to iterations and link columns to top-level work items.
1. The [map explorer](Map_Explorer.md) on the right lists the maps available in SpecMap. You can also export maps and clone them from here.

**Note**: The UI's appearance will differ slightly depending on your version of Azure DevOps or TFS.
