Getting started

After subscribing, you receive an e-mail “Your site … is ready”. Here is how to get into your administration area and find your way around.

1. Choose your password

In the welcome e-mail, click the link after “first choose your password”. The link works only once.
The page shows your first name, last name and e-mail address (your login). You can change the page's language at the top right.
Type a password of at least 8 characters, with at least one uppercase letter, one lowercase letter and one digit, then repeat it in Confirm Password.
The “Keep me updated…” box is about the newsletter of Strapi, the software behind the administration area: leave it unticked if you are not interested.
Click Let's start: you are in.

The page where you choose your password, with your name and e-mail already filled in — The invitation link's page.

The link was already used, or you can't find the e-mail? Write to us at contact@tilefolio.com with your site's address.

The address of your administration area is in the welcome e-mail. You can also add /admin to your site's address (for example marie.tilefolio.com/admin): you are taken there.

Type your e-mail and password, then click Login. If you forget your password, use Forgot your password?: you receive an e-mail to choose a new one.

The login page, with e-mail and password fields — The login page.

3. The home page of your area

The home page shows your site's name in the My site box. The Edit my site button opens its settings: texts, menus, logo, colours (see Pages, menus and texts and Appearance).

The administration home page with the My site box and the menu on the left — The home page: the “My site” box and, on the left, the main menu.

The menu on the left, from top to bottom:

Home (the house);
Content Manager (the quill): all of your site's content;
Media Library: your images, videos, sounds and PDFs;
Newsletter export (the envelope): your subscribers' list to download;
your initials, at the very bottom: your profile (password, interface language) and logging out.

4. Content types

In Content Manager, the Collection types column lists everything you can create:

In the administration	What it is
`TileImage`	an image tile (gallery)
`TileVideo`	a video tile
`TileText`	a text tile (text or PDF)
`TileAudio`	an audio tile (album, selection)
`Track`	a track, to put in an audio tile
`Tag`	a theme, to sort tiles
`Site`	your site's texts, menus and appearance settings
`NewsletterSubscription`	your newsletter subscribers

Fields show their technical names (title, date, large…): each page of this help explains what they are for.

The tile_title field is filled in automatically: leave it as it is. Greyed-out fields saying “No permissions to see this field” (site, and in Site: slug, domains, paddle_…) belong to the platform.

5. Save and publish

Save keeps your work without showing it; Publish puts it online. Tiles always start as drafts: remember to publish them. The site's settings (Site), themes and tracks only have a Save button, and are online as soon as they are saved. Details in Organize and publish.

The administration's language

The administration area is in English until you choose a language. To change it: click your initials at the bottom left, then Profile, pick a language in Interface language, and Save. See Account and support.
