# Editor or workspace

The site editor changes what visitors see. The workspace runs the business around it.

## The two surfaces
The **site editor** is where you change the website. You land in it when you sign in, and you can return with **Edit website** on the **Website** dashboard. It edits a draft, and visitors see nothing until you publish.

The **workspace** is everything else: Home, the Website dashboard, Customers, Inbox, Invoices, Studio, AI Partner, Referrals and Settings. It runs the business and does not change your pages.

## What is in the editor
The top bar has a **Preview** toggle, a device switch, undo and redo, and **Publish**. After the first publish the button reads **Publish updates**. The **Home** button, or **Workspace home** in the overflow menu, takes you back to the workspace.

The overflow menu holds:
- **Add section** and **Pages**.
- **Customize** for site-wide look and feel.
- **Edit with AI**, which stages edits for you to save or discard.
- **Edit headline** and **History**.
- **Change your site address**, **View live site** and **Take site offline**.

## Which one to use
Use the editor to change wording, sections, pages, images on the site, or to publish. Use the workspace to answer a customer, send an invoice, connect a domain, manage the team or read traffic.

**Edit with AI** and **AI Partner** are different. Edit with AI changes your site draft from inside the editor. AI Partner is a chat in the workspace for broader work, like a blog post or a reply to a lead.
