Where your sites live, and what every screen inside one is for.

## Outside a site

The dashboard lists the sites on your account. Each row shows the site's name,
its address, whether it is published, and its credit balance. **New site** makes
another.

Deleting a site happens here, from the row's menu, because the dashboard is the
only screen that outlives the site.

## Inside a site

Open a site and the left rail is the whole product. It is in groups, and the
groups are worth knowing because they say what a screen changes:

**Overview** — the site at a glance, in three tabs. **Overview** is its visitors
and when it last changed. **Activity** is what *happened*: every change anyone
made, the AI's included, deletions among them. **Releases** is what the site
*was*: a row per press of Publish, and you can put any of it back. Nothing in
Activity can be restored, which is the whole difference between the two.

**Content** — **Pages** and **Forms**, then a row for each of your
[collections](/dynamic/collections). These are what the site says, and each
list opens an editor. Your blog is a collection, **Articles**, so it has a row
of its own.

**Site** — **Files**, **Blocks**, **Theme** and **Settings**. These land on the
whole site rather than on one page: your pictures, the shared pieces every page
can embed (a header, a footer), your colours and fonts — see
[Colours, fonts and CSS](/design/theme) — and your CSS and JS, your domain and
your metadata. Setting up a collection, as opposed to filling it in, is under
**Settings**.

Last, under its own line: **Billing** — your plan, your credits, what you have
spent, and changing either. It sits apart because every other row changes
something about the website and this one is about what pays for it.

## The top bar

These are the things you use constantly.

**Publish**, with a badge beside it counting what is waiting to go out. There is
no Save button anywhere — your typing is saved as you go.

**The address of the page you are editing**, which is a link when that page is
live. If it is not a link, something is stopping it being served and the bar
says which thing.

**The pencil**, on a page's **Content** tab. That tab is the page's preview,
built from your drafts, and the pencil lets you point at part of it or retype
its text: see [How editing works](/getting-started/how-editing-works). The
preview is genuinely different from the live address: the preview shows what
you have; the live site shows what you published.

**The breakpoint icon**, just left of the pencil. The preview normally fills
the screen. Press the icon and it becomes a browser window instead, with the
page's address along its top: pick Mobile, Tablet or Laptop above it, or drag
either side to any width, to see how the page looks there. Press it again to
go back.

## The AI panel

The panel is the conversation, and it follows you around the site. It opens on
the left, beside the rail, and its one switch is the **sparkle** at the top of
the rail, next to the logo: press it to show or hide the panel.

**A conversation belongs to the SITE, and each thing you ask goes wherever you
are standing.** Ask for "a new contact page" from the homepage and you get one;
walk to the About page and say "rewrite the intro" and that goes to About — same
conversation, and it remembers what it just did on the homepage. The transcript
marks the point where the place changed.

You can keep typing while a turn is running. A message sent mid-turn waits its
place and is sent when the one before it finishes, so you never have to stand
and watch. If that turn does not finish cleanly, the waiting message holds and
says why, because it usually depended on that turn.

The panel has no buttons of its own. Type a slash into the message box instead:

- **/new** starts a new conversation for the site.
- **/history** lists every conversation the site has had. Opening an old one
  opens it right where you are: a conversation is not about a screen, so there
  is nowhere for it to take you.

## Help

Your account menu, at the foot of the rail, has two rows for help.
**Documentation** opens this manual. **Support** opens your support tickets:
write to us there, say which site it is about if it is about one, and attach a
screenshot or a text file if it helps. Replies arrive on the ticket, and we
email you when there is one.
