Use the Webflow Dashboard to access, create, and manage your sites.
Dashboard overview
When you sign up for a Webflow account, you’ll be taken to your first Starter Workspace Dashboard where you can begin creating sites. If you’re part of multiple Workspaces, you’ll have additional, separate Dashboards for each Workspace.
Switch between Workspace Dashboards
You can switch between your Workspace Dashboards and create a new Workspace from the Workspace dropdown menu, located in the upper left of the Dashboard.
Supported browsers
Webflow officially supports the Dashboard, Designer, and published sites on the last three major versions of all modern browsers, including Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari. Learn more about browser support.
How to create sites
To create a new Webflow site, click New site in the upper right of your Dashboard. You can choose to create a blank site, where you can design and develop from scratch, or start with a template if you prefer.
How to organize sites
You can organize sites in your Dashboard with preset sort options, move them into folders, or search for them using the search bar. You can also switch your Dashboard view to list sites instead of using thumbnails.
Sort sites
By default, your sites are sorted by Date created. You can also sort them in Alphabetical order, Last published, or by Last modified. Additionally, you can sort by ascending or descending for all sort methods. In List View, you can also use the toggles in the column header.
Organize sites in folders
You can also organize your sites within folders in your Dashboard. You can create a folder by clicking the “folder” icon and giving the new folder a name.
Move sites to folders
You can move your site into a folder from the site menu:
- Click the “more options” dots underneath the thumbnail of the site you want to move into a folder
- Click Move to folder
- Choose the folder you want to move the site to (or choose New folder)
- Click Move site
Good to know
You can create sites directly inside a folder by opening the folder and clicking New site. This automatically places the site in that folder.
Delete folders
You can delete a folder at any time by opening the folder and clicking the “trash” icon.
Don’t worry, your sites are safe! When you delete a folder, all sites within that folder move to All sites in the main area of your Dashboard.
Search for a site
You can search for a site within your Workspace Dashboard to find it quickly. The search functionality also searches within folders. Note that search only shows results from the current Workspace. To search for sites within another Workspace you’re a part of, you’ll first need to switch to your other Workspace.
Switch to list view
To switch your Dashboard from thumbnail view to list view, click the "List view" toggle at the top right corner of the Dashboard.
How to manage sites from the site thumbnail
In your Dashboard, each of your sites is represented by a thumbnail and some useful details about your site. For instance, each site displays what Site plan it has, and the green “rocket” icon indicates sites that are published. You can hover over the icon to learn more about when the site was last published.
Open your site in the Designer
To open your site in the Designer, hover over the thumbnail and click Open Designer.
Pro tip
You can open a number of sites in the Designer at once. Command + click (on Mac) or Control + click (on Windows) to load up the Designer for each site in a separate browser tab, which is helpful if you want to compare sites or copy/paste between them.
You can click the “more options” dots underneath a site thumbnail to access the site menu. From the site menu you can:
Site thumbnails
Thumbnail images are automatically generated for your sites in your Dashboard, which update each time you publish your site to your site’s webflow.io subdomain.
Reset inaccurate site thumbnails
If your site’s thumbnail image is inaccurate or out-of-date, unpublish your site from the webflow.io subdomain and publish it again. Hard-refresh the Dashboard to see the updated thumbnail by pressing Shift + Command + R (on Mac) or Shift + Control + R (on Windows).
