Control Panel

To view the Control Panel, do the following.

1. Log into an account as an Administrator.
2. Use the top navigation to select the gear icon in the top right of the page. This should bring up the Control Panel.

Administrators or content editors can easily use the Control Panel for much of their daily work. The Control Panel offers three main areas for administration, as shown in the annotated screenshot below.

• The top area of the Control Panel contains a button that opens the Admin Dashboard. The Admin Dashboard allows multiple options for site or host administration. This top area of the Control Panel is visible to Administrators.
• The middle area of the Control Panel is for adding a new page, editing the metadata, permissions, or theme of the current page, or deleting or unpublishing the current page. This middle area of the Control Panel is visible to Administrators.
• The bottom area of the Control Panel is for adding modules to the current page. This bottom area of the Control Panel is visible to Administrators or Content Editors.

It is worth noting that the default Control Panel is one of numerous extension points in Oqtane. Like modules, themes, and other extensions, the Control Panel can be replaced with a custom or third-party alternative.
