Overview
The FlexSite dashboard is the control panel for your websites. The left sidebar is your main menu. Which links you see depends on where you are: managing your whole team account, a single website, or one copy of that website.
Key concepts — three levels
Think of FlexSite in three nested levels:
- Organization — your company or team account. It holds billing, members, shared media (Digital Assets), and the list of all websites.
- Project — one website. Each project has its own settings, team access, and (for most tiers) one or more environments.
- Environment — a separate running copy of a project’s site. Common names are
dev(for testing),staging(for review), andprodorproduction(the live site visitors see). Not every tier uses multiple environments — Atom typically has one.
When you click deeper (org → project → environment), the sidebar updates to show tools relevant to that level.
Organization context
From the organization Projects page, the sidebar usually includes:
- Projects — list of all websites in this organization
- Members — who can sign in and what org-wide role they have
- Billing — plan, payment, and credits
- Digital Assets — shared media library with Library, Image Styles, and Connect to Site
- Settings — organization name and advanced options
- Support — contact FlexSite help (requires an ACTIVE paid plan)
Project context
Open a project from Projects. The sidebar focuses on that website:
- Overview — status, quick actions, and summary cards
- Environments — list of site copies (Codeless / FlexLab)
- Team — who can work on this project
- Domains — custom web addresses (e.g.
www.yourcompany.com) - Quality — performance and health reports
- Tier-specific items: Themes (Codeless), Code (FlexLab), SEO & Forms (Atom)
Environment context
After you open Environments and select one environment, the sidebar shows tools for that copy only:
- Overview, Quality, Build Settings, Automation, Domain Settings
- Backups and Themes (Codeless)
Steps — move around confidently
- Use the organization selector in the top bar if you belong to more than one org, or to reach Members / Billing quickly.
- Click Projects anytime to return to the list of websites.
- Inside an environment, use Back to Project (or similar) to go up one level to the project.
- Open your profile menu (your name or avatar) for Profile (account details) and Tokens (passwords for CLI tools — mainly FlexLab developers).
