Meet your dashboard
When you sign up for a Webflow account, you’ll be taken to your personal dashboard where you can start creating projects.
If you’re part of a team or multiple teams, you’ll have additional dashboards for each team. Team dashboards also show you the activity of your team members in the Team activity section.
Switching between dashboards
You can switch between your personal dashboard and team dashboards from the dashboard dropdown menu.
Good to know
Each time you log into your account and visit the dashboard, you’ll be taken to the most recent dashboard you visited.
From the dashboard menu, you can also access your team settings and even create a new team.
Dashboard requirements: supported browsers
Webflow officially supports the Dashboard on the latest version of Chrome or Safari’s evergreen release, plus 2 versions for varying update cycles. Webflow also unofficially supports the use of all modern browsers.
* Degree of browser support depends upon features used (e.g., filter has partial support in Edge). More details can be found at:
- CSS transforms 3d - Used by interactions
- CSS transitions - Used by interactions
- CSS flexbox - Used by style layout panel
- CSS filters - Used by interactions
- CSS grid - Will be used by style layout panel
On June 15, 2022, Microsoft officially ended support for Internet Explorer 11 (IE11). While sites published in Webflow use industry standard features supported in modern web browsers, some features unsupported by IE11 might function incorrectly on that browser. Learn more about IE11 support from Microsoft.
Webflow doesn’t support IE 9 or IE 10 in any situation. Learn more about this decision.
Good to know: An evergreen browser is one that updates itself automatically, meaning that most people have the newest, automatically updated version.
If you run into issues using Webflow on experimental browsers, please report your issue under the experimental browsers category on the Webflow Forum.
Note: You can determine the browser and operating system version you're using with What's my Browser.
Creating projects
To create a new Webflow project, just click on that all-so-important blue button.
Here, you can choose to create a blank project, where you can design and develop from scratch. Or, if you prefer, you can start with a template. Learn more about templates.
Organizing projects
When you have a number of projects in your dashboard, you can sort them using preset sort options, organize them in folders, and filter/search for them using the search bar.
Sorting projects
By default, your projects are sorted by date created. You can also sort them alphabetically or by last modified.
Organizing projects in folders
You can also organize your projects within folders in your dashboard.
Creating folders
You can create folders by pressing the folder icon.
Moving projects to folders
You can move your project into a folder from the project menu. When you press move to a folder, you’ll be able to choose the folder you want to move your project into from the folder dropdown menu.
You can also create a new folder right from this dropdown menu.
Good to know
You can also create projects right inside a folder. Just open the folder,and create a new project. This will automatically add the project inside that folder.
Deleting folders
You can delete any folder any time just by going into that folder and pressing the trashcan icon.
Don’t worry, your projects are safe! When you delete a folder, all projects within that folder will be moved to All Projects.
Searching for a project
You can also search within the dashboard if you have tons of projects. The search functionality also allows you to search within folders.
Good to know
To search for projects within another dashboard, switch your dashboard first.
Project thumbnails — managing projects from the project menu
In the dashboard, each of your projects is represented with a thumbnail and some useful details about your project.
Good to know
The little icons under each project thumbnail let you quickly see which sites are published, which are showcased, which are hosted and on which plan, and which have Client Billing set on.
Opening the project in the Designer
To open the project in the Designer, click on the thumbnail and design away!
Pro tip
You can even open a number of projects at once by command ⌘ + clicking on macOS or control + clicking on Windows. This will load up the Designer for each project in a separate tab. Really helpful if you want to compare projects, or copy/paste across them.
Managing your project from the project menu
The project menu allows you to access your project settings and do some quick project management:
- Delete a project
- Duplicate a project
- Moving a project to a folder
- Sharing a projects read-only link.
- Accessing the CMS Editor
The project thumbnails
Thumbnail images are automatically generated for your projects in your dashboard. They get updated each time you publish your project to your .webflow.io subdomain.
Resetting inaccurate project thumbnails
If your project's thumbnail image is inaccurate, unpublish your project from the .webflow.io subdomain and publish it again. Now, hard-refresh the dashboard to see the updated thumbnail.
