The first thing you’ll probably want to do is choose “Show Sidebar” from the View menu so you can see all of your folders that were in iPhoto.

From that point onward, anything you do in Photos won’t appear in iPhoto, and anything you do in iPhoto won’t appear in Photos. When you first open Photos, it imports everything from your iPhoto library (though in a way that doesn’t occupy more disk space), and creates a new Photos library. The downside is that many find it less intuitive to use (particularly if you relied on iPhoto’s date organization), and in some cases is slow and buggy. The upsides is that it has better photo editing tools, supports larger libraries, and offers iCloud Photo Library, which is the long sought after holy grail: the ability to have photo libraries synchronized across all your devices and computers. If iPhoto was in your dock, it is replaced by the new Photos app. What happened is that with the very latest OS X upgrade - Yosemite version 10.10.3 - Apple introduced their new replacement for both iPhoto and Aperture, called simply Photos, like the app already on your iPad or iPhone. Something that’s been popping up lately for my clients is: What happened to iPhoto? It’s a good question, indeed.
