# Explorer Guide

## TL;DR

*Explorer allows supporters (donors) to browse through and donate to projects that have been approved in any single round.* 

To visit Explorer, you will need to go to the specific link for each round. Round operators will share those through the specific round’s Explorer via a direct link on Twitter, website, etc. We will also have a page where all the links live that will be shared before the round goes live.

***Please visit*** [***grants.gitcoin.co***](https://grants.gitcoin.co/) ***to browse rounds you'd like to support.*** 

### Pre-Round Screen

*The Explorer landing page UI changes based on whether a round has started or not. If a round has not begun yet, you won't be able to view the projects yet. On the pre-round screen the information for that specific round will be displayed.*

### Active Round Screen

Once Round Operators have approved projects for their round and the round has begun, the landing page would then look something like this:

### Project Details page
