About Contexts, Features & Feature Sets

Project Contexts

In Webflow, a given project has a number of different contexts that you might interact with it in:

• Live site - your public, published site on a custom domain
• Staging site - your webflow.io staged site
• Content editor - your public site but in ?edit mode
• Designer - designer mode
• Read-only designer - a readonly link as shared by someone e.g. in the Webflow forums
• Site settings - your site-specific settings, within the dashboard, such as redirects, plan, and bandwidth use.

Non-Project Contexts

The Webflow ecosystem also has a number of non-project contexts:

• The Dashboard
• Forums, in particular the Discourse forum
• Webflow U

Contextual Feature Sets

WFX is designed to work across a huge range of contexts, and to provide features and improvements specific to each context.

• Features like the workspace custom naming will only work in the Dashboard.
• Sidebar views will change depending on the context you’re in
• All navigation through a project will be driven by the context you’re currently engaging with

The WFX sidepanel organizes features by feature set, and makes them accessible to contexts in which they can provide value.

Here’s a general breakdown of the features and feature sets we’re working on.
