Getting started

Find your way around

The workspace menu, the home page and the websites list, and what the cards and badges mean.

  • 3 minute read
  • 3 interactive walkthroughs
  • For everyone using CubeSites

The menu on the left#

The workspace menu holds everything outside a single website: Home, Websites, Licences, Templates, Media and Cube apps, with Settings at the bottom. Shop joins them once any website sells or lists products, and the Cube apps item only appears when CubeConnect is connected, because there is nothing to show before then. Websites carries a count of unread messages across all your websites.

At the top of the menu is the workspace switcher. If you work in more than one workspace, this is how you move between them, including organisation workspaces. The card at the bottom tracks the trial, and the AI drafts card counts the month so far.

Your websites

The menu keeps every part of the workspace a click away, and the cards at the bottom show your trial and AI drafts.

Step 1 of 4

The main places

Home, Websites, Licences, Templates, Media and Cube apps, with Settings at the bottom. This is the whole workspace outside a single website.

Reduced motion is on, so the walkthrough waits for you. Use the arrows or pick a step.

The home page#

Home is a summary of the workspace: quick ways to start work, the next steps a new website needs, and a card per website with anything waiting on it. New messages from contact forms are counted here before you even open the website.

The quick actions deliberately point at the first decisions rather than everything: start from a template, describe the business for a draft, upload images, or connect Cube apps.

Step 1 of 4

A summary, not a dashboard

Home gathers what is waiting and what is next, rather than everything that exists.

Reduced motion is on, so the walkthrough waits for you. Use the arrows or pick a step.

The websites list#

Websites lists every site in the workspace with its address and status. The statuses are the ones that matter: Draft means never published, Live means visitors see the latest version, and Live, changes waiting means there are edits that are not on the internet yet.

Each card shows how many messages from the contact forms are unread and, for a published website, how many changes are waiting to publish. Clicking a card opens the website's overview, Edit site opens the editor, and the arrow visits the live site; the website then has its own menu of pages, blog, messages, SEO and settings.

Websites

Every website in this workspace. Nothing you change goes live until you press Publish.

Step 1 of 5

One card per website

The thumbnail, name and address. Clicking the card opens the website's overview.

Reduced motion is on, so the walkthrough waits for you. Use the arrows or pick a step.

Good to know: Nothing you change in the editor is visible to visitors until you press Publish. The badges exist to make that boundary visible everywhere.

Common questions

Why can I not see the Cube apps item?

It appears once CubeConnect is connected to the workspace. Without a connection there are no Cube apps to launch or use.

What does Live, changes waiting mean?

The website has been published at least once, and there are edits since then that visitors cannot see yet. Press Publish to see the list and choose what goes live.
