Tabs and visibility

How the editor is laid out and where the tabs you cannot see are hiding.

On this page

Opening a project puts you in the editor. Chat runs down the left, and the rest of the window is one work area that switches between tabs.

The tab strip

The tab strip is the rounded pill at the top of the work area. It holds four tabs plus a More button:

  • Preview
  • CMS
  • Analytics
  • Storage
  • More

A tab shows its icon only until you select it, and then its name appears next to the icon. More always shows its name.

Each tab has its own address, so the URL always tells you where you are. The Preview tab is /dashboard/projects/<your-project>, and the others add a segment such as /versions or /logs. Reloading the page or sharing the link with a teammate lands on the same tab.

What is behind More

Nine more tabs live behind More. They are not on the strip because most sessions never need them:

Tab What it is for
Secrets API keys and environment values your site reads at runtime
File Explorer Browse and read the source files of your site
Versions The automatic snapshot history, and restore
Publishes The record of every publish of this project
Webhooks Endpoints your site calls out to, and their deliveries
Crons Scheduled jobs that belong to your site
Logs Console and server output from the preview, production and publishing
Domain The addresses this site answers on
Settings Project name, description, category, region, thumbnail and the Danger zone

Click More and the work area switches to one of them, with all nine listed down the left so you can move between them. The first time you use it you land on Secrets, and after that More reopens whichever of the nine you used last.

When the work area is narrow, More opens the list of nine as a drawer over the content instead. Picking one closes the drawer.

The chat panel

The panel on the left is chat. The sidebar icon next to the project name collapses it, and the tooltip reads Hide chat or Show chat. Collapsing gives the work area the full window width. If you have the comment tool on, that panel shows comments instead, and the tooltip changes to Hide comments.

On a phone the layout stacks, and a Chat tab joins the tab strip so you can swap between the conversation and the work area.

Shared and public projects

Someone opening a public link to your project gets the Preview tab and nothing else. There is no More button for them, so no files, logs, secrets or settings.
