Environment Overview

Applies to: Codeless

Overview

For Codeless (and FlexLab) projects, an environment is one live copy of the website — often used as “test” before you show changes on “live.” The environment Overview shows whether that copy is healthy and gives you day-to-day actions.

Key concepts

  • Hostname — the web address for this environment (a FlexSite URL until you attach a custom domain).
  • Sync — copy database content and/or uploaded files from another environment (e.g. copy staging → production). Useful when editors prepared content on a test site.
  • Cache — stored copies of pages for speed. Clear caches fixes many “I don’t see my change yet” issues after deploys.
  • Quick Login — opens Drupal administration for this environment without a separate password.

Steps — open an environment

  1. Open Environments in the project sidebar.
  2. Click the environment name (e.g. dev, prod).
  3. Review status (ready, provisioning, or error), URL, and recent activity.

Common actions

  • Sync Environment — promote content from another environment (may use credits; FlexSite may take a safety backup first).
  • Clear caches — refresh page storage after theme or config changes.
  • Quick Login — manage content in Drupal.
  • Sidebar links: Quality (speed reports), Build Settings (server size), Backups, Domain Settings.

Status indicators

  • Ready — safe to edit, sync, or attach domains.
  • Provisioning — FlexSite is still building; wait before syncing or going live.
  • Error — read advisories on the card; check Billing if the org is FROZEN.

FlexLab environments also reflect the latest pipeline deploy from Git — code changes arrive when developers push to the linked branch.
