# Using the Seal Platform

This is the day-2 operating manual. The other sections cover **setup** — the one-time work of integrating Seal with your environment. This section covers **operation**: what happens repeatedly, week after week, as new vulnerabilities are discovered and new builds run.

## What's in this section

* [Working with the platform](/using-platform/working-with-the-platform.md): the recurring four-step rhythm — review, decide what to seal, let the pipeline run, verify.
* [The Seal UI tour](/using-platform/seal-ui-tour.md): a navigation cheat-sheet for the UI's top-level pages.
* [Sealing Rules](/using-platform/sealing-rules.md): the canonical home for the rule mechanic — model, types, precedence, plus the [Remote](/using-platform/sealing-rules/remote-rules.md) and [Local](/using-platform/sealing-rules/local-rules.md) UI flows.
* [Working with Seal Apps](/using-platform/working-with-seal-apps.md): one page per deployment method.
* [Working with Seal OS](/using-platform/working-with-seal-os.md): CI/CD, live hosts, and air-gapped environments.
* [Working with Seal Base Images](/using-platform/working-with-seal-base-images.md): the iteration bump cycle.
* [Working with Seal My Container](/using-platform/working-with-seal-my-container.md): re-sealing private images.
* [Working with Seal Vendor Apps](/using-platform/working-with-seal-vendor-apps.md): sealing vendor-supplied containers in place.
* [Scanner Exclusions](/using-platform/scanner-exclusions.md): per-package renaming that hides packages from external scanners.
* [The Seal AI Agent](/using-platform/seal-ai-agent.md): the chatbot in the Seal UI.
* [The Seal Engineer](/using-platform/seal-engineer.md): schedulable automated flows that post to Slack.
* [The Notification Center](/using-platform/notification-center.md): in-app notifications and email opt-ins.
* [The Reports Manager](/using-platform/reports-manager.md): vulnerable-packages, sealed-packages, and ROI reports.
* [The Usage page](/using-platform/usage-page.md): tenant-wide consumption against your monthly quota.
