The Manage Site surfaces, slugs and titles, folders, the page panel.
One column, one scroll: Site info, Membership, Templates, Content Types,
Layouts, Fields, Taxonomies, Factories, Workflows, Media, Trash, Themes.
Breadcrumbs split folder segments — pages/landing-page reads Manage
Site › Content Types › Pages › landing-page, and the folder crumb opens
the list with that folder active (?folder= is deep-linkable).
Display convention everywhere: title first, slug small beneath it — rows, detail headings, folders. Retitling is free; renaming a slug is free too (references ride the uid). Where an authored EJS file still mentions an old slug, the rename reports the file instead of rewriting it.
One surface for every EJS entity the site can render. New template asks Title + Slug and drops you in the source editor. Theme-provided entries show a Theme badge and a Customize button — copy-on-write into the site.
Fields, metadata schemas, options, Family & Access, and Outputs — the template select plus the Content renderer (None | Layout | Partial). See chapter 3. Folders, move, copy, rename, retitle all live on the list.
A factory is a preset for new content: a prototype page (unpublished,
kept under _factory/, edited like any page) plus a placement pattern
such as blog/{year} or galleries/{slug}. Creating from it clones the
prototype into its place as a draft. Define them here; authors meet them in
+ New content.
+ New content opens one dialog, and it creates by factory: Location (filled from the factory's placement, with today's date tokens resolved, and changeable), Asset factory, Title, and Slug (follows the title until you edit it). Create clones the prototype to that address and lands you in the editor on the new draft. A factory whose prototype is missing or in the trash is listed as unavailable rather than offered.
System admins also see a Create by choice, a radio set: Asset factory, the default, or Content type, the raw door that makes a bare page or record of a chosen type. That lane is how a factory's prototype is born, and it is admin-only on purpose. A site with no usable factory starts an admin in the type lane and points everyone else at Factories.
The reusable field registry. Field keys are data identifiers (letters, numbers, hyphens, underscores — no slashes); field organization uses folders like everything else.
Title, name/path (slug rules, custom-path escape hatch), content type, metadata, data fields, options, taxonomy terms, publish state, child ordering. When the page's type binds no template, a Template picker appears here — the delegation lane (chapter 3).
The right-rail tree of the page's structure: sections, regions, embeds, with drag reordering, visibility toggles, per-section options, and right-click structural inserts. Template-shell pages root the tree under a Page content — Template header naming the shell; layout pages show their Page-content band in place. Row subtitles show entity titles, never internal hashes.
/ nests folders.
