First-time setup and signing in to the editor
After launch the site is Deploying for a few minutes. Once it is ready, Set up opens the first-time setup, and from then on Edit site signs you in to the editor without a password. If the setup link has expired, request a new one with Request new setup link.
Deployment and first-time setup
- After launch the site is Deploying. This usually takes a few minutes; the card and the page update on their own.
- When it is ready, Set up appears on the card and on the site's own page. It opens the first-time setup in a new tab, where a few questions shape the site's look and structure.
- After setup, Edit site takes the button's place.
The link behind Set up signs you in automatically, so it is only valid for a limited time. If it has expired, request a new one with Request new setup link – available only until the first-time setup is finished.
Signing in to the editor
Edit site signs you in to the editor without a password. In the editor you change the site's texts, images and menu. Visit site shows the live site.
If the button says something else:
- Deploying… – wait until the site is ready.
- Set up or Request new setup link – finish the first-time setup first.
- Reactivate or Retry – the site is paused or has an error; sort that out first.
- Go live or Subscribe – the trial or the subscription has ended.
- Open CMS – opens the editor's sign-in page. There you can request a one-time sign-in link by e-mail, or choose to sign in with Demona.
If something went wrong
If deployment fails, or takes longer than an hour, the site goes to Error and the reason shows on its own page. Retry restarts it. If the launch already failed in the app builder, you can discard the site and start again.
