Site Studio basics

Code workspace

Edit site files, inspect the running preview, and restore earlier versions.

Code mode provides file-level control for sites that use the code workspace. It combines a file tree, editor, running preview, Scout context, and version history.

What this workspace includes

  • File tree and code editor
  • Running preview
  • Code-aware Scout
  • Version history and restore
  • Build and runtime feedback

Complete workflow

  1. 1

    Switch to code

    Open code mode for the current site.

  2. 2

    Choose a file

    Use the file tree to locate the relevant source.

  3. 3

    Make or request the change

    Edit directly or ask Scout with the file context.

  4. 4

    Validate and restore if needed

    Inspect the preview and use history when an earlier version is preferred.

How records and settings behave

  • File changes are saved to the current site project
  • The preview reflects the running site build
  • History checkpoints support restoration of earlier states

Working effectively

  • Keep changes focused to the requested behavior
  • Review the preview after each related group of edits
  • Use history labels to understand restoration points

Keep the correct context

Confirm the active organization, agency, client, site, or record before making a change. The name shown in the workspace identifies where the result will be saved.
