The Dashboard

When you log in to Webflow, you land on your Dashboard.

This is your home base — where your sites live and where you’ll start every time you open Webflow.

Your Workspace

Your work in Webflow is organized inside a Workspace. Think of a Workspace as a container for the sites, apps, people, and settings that belong to a team, company, or project.

At the top of your Dashboard, you'll see the name of your current Workspace.

You might have access to just one Workspace, or several — for example, if you've been invited to a company Workspace alongside your own personal one. You can switch between them from the top of the Dashboard.

Your sites

Each site appears as a card showing its name, published status (whether and when it was last published), and site plan. To open one, hover over the card and click Open — that takes you into the canvas, where your work happens.

Don't see a site you expected? Visible sites depend on your workspace role and access. If one's missing, it's likely a permissions setting — check with your admin.

Site settings

Every site has its own settings, separate from the workspace. Hover over a site card and click the three-dot menu to reach site-level configuration: name, custom domain, hosting options, SEO settings, site-level access, site integrations, and more.

Most site settings are admin territory. Depending on your role, you may not go here often — but it's useful to know where it lives. Your learning path covers the settings relevant to you.

Getting back to the Dashboard

Inside a site, you can always return to the Dashboard from the main menu at the top of the left toolbar. This works the same for every role — your escape hatch if you need to switch sites or get your bearings.
