Using the admin

Finding your way

The sidebar, the dashboard, the command palette, search and notifications.

The sidebar has the Dashboard, then three groups: Content (daily work), AI, and Administration, with Settings at the very end. Everyone sees only what their role allows.

The dashboard

  • Welcome: a greeting by time of day, quick actions (New page, Edit the homepage, View the website) shown only to people who may use them, and an AI card: Connect your AI until an app is connected, then the latest AI activity.
  • Content statistics, refreshed every minute: live pages out of all pages, pages waiting for review and how many are scheduled, and edits and AI actions in the last 14 days.
  • Recent changes: every page revision from every surface (form, visual editor, AI), with who, when and a link into the editor.
  • Needs attention: pages in review and pages scheduled to go live, with one-click Publish. When nothing is waiting it says "All caught up".

The command palette

Press ⌘K or Ctrl+K anywhere:

  • actions: draft a page, edit the homepage, upload images, invite someone, create a redirect or a menu, and more;
  • commands for the page that's open;
  • every screen and every Settings tab;
  • records from global search;
  • light and dark mode.
The command palette open over the admin, listing actions, screens and pages to jump to
The command palette: actions, screens and pages, from the keyboard.

Everywhere else

  • Global search finds pages, files, forms, people and Settings tabs by name.
  • Notifications in the bell, to the people who can act on them and in their own language: a page sent for review, your page published by someone else, a new form submission, an accepted invitation.
  • The AI assistant, a chat bubble or Ctrl+Shift+K.
  • The user menu: your profile, connected AI apps, the website, light or dark mode (when the theme has both) and sign out. Your theme and sidebar state follow you to any browser.
  • Unsaved changes are never lost by accident: leaving a form or the editor asks first.
  • Mobile friendly: the admin, Settings included, works on a phone.
