Switch between your dashboard and live website
At the top of the screen when you’re logged in, you have a menu of options.
From your dashboard you can quickly switch to your live site – also known as the front-end – by clicking ‘Visit Site’.
In the live site view, you can navigate to any page on your website and select ‘Edit Page’ from the top menu to start editing that page quickly and easily.
You can also easily switch back to the dashboard by clicking on the name of the website in the top menu.

Website Builder uses a customised version of WordPress – not all WordPress features are available.
