Working with a specific static site generator?
Customize CloudCannon's documentation to suit your SSG.

Great! We'll show you documentation relevant to .
You can change this any time using the dropdown in the navigation bar.

The dashboard has three main sections: Site Breakdown, Main Actions, and Recent Activity.

Sections#

The site breakdown is a representation of the Explore navigation. View options are inherited from the explore settings.

Sits below the site breakdown and defaults to having a single action (View live site). You can configure two more options in the client interface.

This is a summary of the last six actions to occur on the site. You can view a full history in the Developer / Reports section.

Set the default path to load when the Update Home action is clicked in the Dashboard.

This should be the URL of the page relative to your site's base URL.

This is set in your global configuration file.

cloudcannon.config.yaml

copied

editor:
  default_path: /about/

cloudcannon.config.json

copied

{
  "editor": {
    "default_path": "/about/"
  }
}

cloudcannon.config.js

copied

module.exports = {
  editor: {
    default_path: "/about/"
  }
};

Clicking the Update Home dashboard action loads the default_path. The example above loads /about/ rather than the default /.
