# Understanding your Workspace Interface

Opening a workspace puts you in the Dewstack editor, which is three columns: the **collection sidebar** on the left, the **editor pane** in the middle, and a narrow **actions bar** pinned to the right. The dashboard's own icon sidebar – Customize, Hosting, Analytics and the rest – stays to the far left and always applies to the workspace you have open.

The three columns are constant. Everything you do to a page is in the right-hand rail or the row's kebab menu.

## The collection sidebar

The sidebar is your site's structure. At the top is the workspace name, then a **Search pages...** box, then the **Add New Collection** button, then the collections themselves.

Each collection expands into its pages. Pages nest – drag a page onto another to make it a child, drag to reorder within a collection, drag collections to reorder the sidebar itself. What you see here is what readers see on the published site, in the same order.

Two kebab (**⋮**) menus live in this column:

*   **On a collection:** **Edit Collection**, **Delete Collection**, **New Page**, and **Import Page** (the last only appears if you have a subscription).
*   **On a page:** **Edit Page**, **Duplicate Page**, and – on a page that already has children – **New Page**, which adds a child page.

Draft pages are shown greyed out with a **(Draft)** suffix, so you can see at a glance what is not live yet.

Selecting **Edit Collection** slides in a panel with the collection's **Icon**, **Name**, **Slug**, **Short Description** and, if you have created spaces, a **Space** select. **Edit Page** opens a **Page Settings** panel with the page's **Title** and **Slug**. Both end in **Cancel** / **Save**.

## The editor pane

The middle column is one text field for the page title – placeholder **Enter Title** – and the rich-text editor underneath it. The editor renders content roughly as it will appear on the published page, and its toolbar covers headings, lists, tables, images, links and code blocks. See [Text editor overview](/docs/content-editing/text-editor-overview) for what the toolbar can do.

If you open a collection with no pages in it, the editor is replaced by an empty state – "No pages in this collection" – with a **Create First Page** button.

## The actions bar

The right-hand column holds everything you do _to_ the page you are editing:

| Control | What it does |
| --- | --- |
| Save as | Split button; the dropdown offers Draft ("Page will not be visible to anyone") and Publish |
| Status | A pill reading Draft or Published |
| New Page | Adds a page to the current collection |
| Duplicate Page | Copies the page; the copy is named <name>(Copy) |
| Import Content | Opens the import dialog for this page |
| Copy Page Link | Copies the page's public URL |
| Preview Space | Opens your live site in a new tab |
| Page History | Opens Page Revision History with per-revision Restore |
| Page Assist | The AI writing assistant panel |

The **Save as** button reads **Saving...** while a save is in flight. Dewstack also autosaves revisions on a timer; you can turn that off in **Customize → Auto-Save Option**.

Two of these are plan-gated

**Page History** shows a padlock and an upgrade prompt without a subscription, and the number of revisions you can see is capped per plan. **Page Assist** is locked below **Starter**. An active trial unlocks both. **Publish** appears only if your role has the _Publish Workspace_ permission.
