Console overview

The pages of the web console and what each one is for in your studio.

The console is the web page where you manage your studio: https://console.pversion.com/. Projects, team, permissions, plan, backups and support are all here. Daily file work (getting the latest, submitting) is done in the desktop app, not in the console; the console is mostly the tool of the studio owner and admins. Everyone on the team can sign in, but some buttons only appear for people with the right role (Team and permissions).

The left menu

Services & deployments may not appear in the menu if your studio has no services.

The question mark at the top right (Help) has Console tour, Show getting started list and Open a support case. The language menu next to it switches the console between Turkish and English. Ctrl K opens the command palette: type the name of a page, project or service and go there.

Overview

The console opens on this page. At the top is a short summary of this week, with the Connect and New project buttons.

• Issues that need attention: things you should look at, for example all users in your plan being taken or storage running low.
• Getting started: a new studio's first steps; they tick themselves off as you do them. If you closed the list, bring it back from the Help menu.
• Resource usage: how much of your plan's user, server and storage limits you use, and how fast storage is growing.
• Activity: who on the team submits how much.
• Backup calendar: the result of the nightly backup for each day.
• Storage by project: which project takes how much room. Only the files' current versions count; past versions and the database are not included, so the sum is smaller than Total storage. It shows when you have at least two projects.

To fold the left menu, use the menu button at the top. In the folded menu, a dot on an icon means something on that page needs you; point at it to see why. To get to a project quickly, press Ctrl+K and type its name.

Projects and the project page

The Projects page shows each project as a card: its size, the number of users and when the last submit was made. Owners and admins create a New project here (Your first project).

Clicking a project opens the project page:

• Recent changes: what was submitted to the project; who, when, what. It can be filtered by person or area. Admins can open a submit and return its files to their earlier state with Undo this change (History and undo).
• Open files: who is working on which file. A locked file can only be open for one person at a time. Admins can open up a file someone forgot to let go of with Release (Locks).
• Team: the people working on the project; those in blue have submitted since yesterday. Click a person to see their open files and recent submissions.
• Up to date? (admins): whether each team member's copy matches the server, and who still has missing or older files.
• Services: the builds and publishing tied to this project (Builds).

Servers, backups and services

The Servers page lists the studio's main server (and any separate servers). On the page that opens with Manage, admins find:

• Users: the accounts on the server. The shield icon on a row (Permissions) sets what that person can do in each area.
• Areas: the folders of the project that permissions are given for. This matters when you work with outside teams: Team and permissions.
• Backups: that server's backups, and Restore.

The Backups page shows the nightly backups and checks of all servers in one place; Back up now takes a backup by hand. Details: Backups and security.

The Services & deployments page lists the services in your projects and their latest deployments: which service is live with which version. See Builds and Web publishing.

Connect and Team

The Connect page is your own connection page. Here you open your account on the studio's server (Open my account), set the password the app will use (Save password), and find the download link for the desktop app. Steps: Your first project.

The Team page lists the studio's members, their roles and their last sign-in. Owners and admins send invitations from here with Invite member (Inviting your team). Admins also see the Desktop apps section (who, on which computer, with which version) and the Activity log (who did what in the console).

Subscription, Support and My account

The Subscription page shows your plan, when the period ends and your usage. The studio owner buys a plan here, grows it with Add user, Add servers and Add disk, or closes the subscription with Cancel at period end (Plans and payment).

On the Support page, New case writes to us; your project and server details are added to the case automatically, and you get an email when we answer (Support and the assistant).

My account has three tabs:

• Account: your name, your console password (Change password), the Authenticator app that asks for a code from your phone at sign-in, notification preferences, and My sessions (the browsers and desktop apps where your account is signed in; close any you don't recognize here).
• Billing: your saved billing details and payments.
• View: light, dark or system theme, and keyboard shortcuts.
