**The dashboard is your control center in PandaSuite. It is where you manage your projects and apps, find helpful resources, and adjust your account settings.**

In this article, we guide you through the main areas of the PandaSuite dashboard.

## Accessing the dashboard

Log in to your PandaSuite account: you land on the dashboard automatically. You can also open it from PandaSuite Studio.

Here is the dashboard URL: <https://pandasuite.com/dashboard/>

## Exploring the dashboard

The menu on the left gives access to the main sections:

- **Projects**: all your projects, active or archived.
- **Apps**: the apps that publish your projects on the web, on mobile, and on desktop. Below it, a quick-access list shows a few apps: the one you are in, the ones you pin with **Pin**, and your most recent ones. Use its search field to reach any other app.

At the bottom of the menu, two menus group the resources:

- **Learning**: **Templates**, **Video Tutorials**, and **Documentation**.
- **Stay in touch**: **Blog**, **What's New**, **Showcase**, and **Contact Us**.

With a free account, a **Go Pro** box appears just above your name: **Discover Pro** opens the subscription to the [Pro account](https://docs.pandasuite.com/account/subscription/pro-account/), and **Compare plans** shows what it adds to the free account. You can hide this box with its cross: a **Become Pro** entry then takes its place.

At the bottom left, click your name to open the account menu: **Account**, **Billing**, **Appearance** (light or dark theme), **Language**, and **Log out**.

## Managing your projects

Here is the URL to the **Projects** section: <https://pandasuite.com/dashboard/create>

The **Projects** section lists your projects in two tabs, **Active** and **Archived**. Type in the **Search...** field to find a project. Click **New project** to create one.

Hover over a project and click **···** to open its menu:

- **Open in Studio**: opens the project in PandaSuite Studio.
- **Preview**: displays the project in a web preview.
- **Publish…**: adds the project to an app, or creates a new app for it.
- **Settings…**: [changes the name of the project and its card](https://docs.pandasuite.com/essentials/project-management/change-the-name-of-your-project/): thumbnail, background color, and device.
- **Share…**: gives the preview link, its QR code, and the code to [embed the project in a website](https://docs.pandasuite.com/essentials/web-publishing/embed-into-a-website/).
- **Template…**: [offers the project as a template](https://docs.pandasuite.com/essentials/project-management/share-your-project-as-template/) through a link.
- **Security…**: [protects the sharing link with a password](https://docs.pandasuite.com/essentials/project-management/sharing-link/).
- **Duplicate / Transfer**: [creates a copy of the project](https://docs.pandasuite.com/essentials/project-management/duplicate-your-project/) or [hands it over to another account](https://docs.pandasuite.com/essentials/project-management/transfer-your-project/).
- **Archive**: [moves the project to the Archived tab](https://docs.pandasuite.com/essentials/project-management/archive-your-project/).
- **Delete**: [deletes the project](https://docs.pandasuite.com/essentials/project-management/delete-your-project/). Be careful: deletion is permanent.

The **Publish…**, **Settings…**, **Share…**, **Template…**, and **Security…** entries open the project settings on the matching tab: **Publishing**, **Information**, **Sharing**, **Template**, and **Security**. Two more tabs are there: **Layouts**, to [create a new layout](https://docs.pandasuite.com/essentials/layout/create-a-new-layout/), and **Advanced**, to allow [remote assistance](https://docs.pandasuite.com/account/support/remote-assistance/), to duplicate or transfer the project under **Duplicate or transfer**, and to archive or delete it under **Risk zone**.

## Managing your apps

Here is the URL to the **Apps** section: <https://pandasuite.com/dashboard/publish>

[Image: Apps section of the dashboard, framed in the left menu: the apps with their plan, the Show inactive apps option and the New app button]

The **Apps** section lists your apps with their plan. Type in the **Search…** field to find an app. Check **Show inactive apps** to also see the apps whose plan has ended. An app without a project shows **No project**. Click **New app** to create one.

Click an app to open its page. From there, you generate the web, mobile, and desktop versions of your app, and you configure its services and settings. In its settings, you can also [create access links to the app](https://docs.pandasuite.com/essentials/web-publishing/links/) and [transfer or delete the app](https://docs.pandasuite.com/essentials/content-management/transfer-or-delete-an-app/).

## Managing your account settings

Here is the URL to the **Account** section: <https://pandasuite.com/dashboard/user/profile>

You can also reach it from the account menu: click your name at the bottom left, then **Account**.

The **Account** section has four tabs:

- **Profile**: manage your subscription, edit your personal information (photo, name, email), change your password, manage your cookie preferences, or delete your account.
- **Security**: [set up two-step authentication](https://docs.pandasuite.com/account/security/two-step-authentication/), [manage your login sessions](https://docs.pandasuite.com/account/account/manage-sessions-of-your-pandasuite-account/), [create API keys](https://docs.pandasuite.com/account/security/api-keys/), and [manage the apps connected to your account](https://docs.pandasuite.com/account/security/connected-apps/).
- **Fonts**: import [custom fonts](https://docs.pandasuite.com/essentials/design/font/) for your projects.
- **Enterprise**: see the organizations you belong to, and [manage the members and licenses of those you own](https://docs.pandasuite.com/account/account/manage-your-organization/). An organization can also [pay for your apps with its licenses](https://docs.pandasuite.com/account/subscription/pay-with-an-organization-license/).

To find your invoices and update your payment methods, click **Billing** in the account menu. See the [subscription and billing FAQ](https://docs.pandasuite.com/account/subscription/billing-faq/).
