# The Codex

Your *Codex* is a directory of all the worlds and events you have visited (or created) in Sansar. It allows you to browse and return to those worlds or events from anywhere.

### Navigating worlds in the Codex

The Worlds section of the Codex allows you to browse and revisit all the worlds you have previously visited. It also displays listings for your favorite worlds and worlds you and your friends have created. You can revisit any world listed in the Codex by moving your mouse cursor over the listing's thumbnail and clicking the **Visit** button.

| The Worlds section of the Codex contains tabs for Visited worlds, Favorites, worlds created by Friends, and worlds created by you. To visit any of these worlds, move your mouse cursor over the listing's thumbnail and click **Visit**. |

## Adding worlds to the Codex

Your Codex is updated automatically whenever you visit a new world. The most common way to visit new worlds is to discover them in [The Nexus](https://docs.sansar.com/latest/exploring-in-sansar/navigateandexplore/nexus) by browsing worlds accessed by the Prime Portal. You can visit The Nexus at any time by clicking **Go to The Nexus** on the Visited tab of the Codex.

| The first entry on the Visited tab of the Codex allows you to access [The Nexus,](https://docs.sansar.com/latest/exploring-in-sansar/navigateandexplore/nexus) where you can socialize with other people and use the Prime Portal to find new worlds to visit. |
| -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

You may also visit a world using its direct URL, even if the world has been hidden from the Prime Portal. If the URL is on a webpage, simply click the hyperlink to visit the linked world. Otherwise, you can paste the URL into Nearby chat where it becomes a clickable link.

| You can visit any world by entering its URL in Nearby chat and clicking the resulting link. |
| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

## Viewing a world's profile

You can view more information about a world in your Codex by clicking the world's thumbnail (but *not* the **Visit** button). This open a panel displaying a brief description of the world, along with buttons to **Visit** the world, **Add this world to your favorites**, **Create a portal to this world**, and **Copy this world's URL**.
