# Glossary

The words the panel uses, in plain English. Each one links to the page where
it matters.

### Admin panel

Your website's control room. It is where you change what the public sees, and
only people you invite can get in. See [The admin
panel](/start-here/admin-panel/).

### Album

A set of photos shown together on your **Gallery** page, such as one job or
one year. See [Gallery](/content/gallery/).

### Alt text

A short line that says what is in a picture. It is read out to people who
cannot see the picture, and search engines read it too. See
[Media](/content/media/).

### Archive

Puts a lead out of the way without deleting it. It moves to the **Archived**
list, and you can bring it back. See [Leads](/plugins/leads/).

### Block

A ready made strip of a page: a big headline, a row of service cards, a set of
photos. You fill in a short form and the block builds the layout. See
[Pages](/content/pages/).

### Byline

A "written by" credit. Your website never shows one, so the **Bylines** panel
on your edit screens can stay empty. See [Bylines](/manage/bylines/).

### Caption

A short line printed under a photo in an album. It is also used as the
description if the file has no alt text of its own. See
[Gallery](/content/gallery/).

### Content type

One kind of entry, such as a service or a review. It decides which boxes you
see when you open an entry. See [Content Types](/admin/content-types/).

### CSV

A file of rows and columns that opens in Excel, Numbers or Google Sheets. It
is how you get your leads out of the panel. See [Leads](/plugins/leads/).

### Draft

An entry that is not on your website. Only people who can sign in to the panel
can see a draft. See [Saving and
publishing](/start-here/saving-and-publishing/).

### Entry

One item in one of your lists: one service, one review, one page. You open an
entry to edit it. See [The admin panel](/start-here/admin-panel/).

### Favicon

The tiny picture in a browser tab. Your website does not use one, so leave the
**Select Favicon** box alone. See [Settings](/admin/settings/).

### Featured

A switch on some entries. On its own it does nothing. It only matters when a
block is set to show featured items only. See [Services](/content/services/).

### Hero

The big band at the top of a page: a photo or a video, with your headline and
buttons on top. See [Showcase Heroes](/plugins/showcase-heroes/).

### Lead

A message from a customer, sent through your contact form or your quote form.
Every one of them lands in your inbox in the panel. See
[Leads](/plugins/leads/).

### Live View

A button that opens the entry you are editing on your live website, so you can
see what a visitor sees. See [Saving and
publishing](/start-here/saving-and-publishing/).

### Media library

The one place every photo and file you upload is kept. Upload a photo once,
then use it on as many pages as you like. See [Media](/content/media/).

### Menu

Two different things carry this name. **Manage**, then **Menus**, is the row
of links across the top of your website, plus your footer links. See
[Menus](/manage/menus/). **Content**, then **Menus (Food)**, is a food menu
with dishes and prices. See [Menus (Food)](/content/menus-food/).

### One-of-a-kind entry

A screen that holds exactly one entry, because your business only has one:
one address, one set of hours. You never use **Add New** there. See [The admin
panel](/start-here/admin-panel/).

### Page not found

The screen a visitor gets when they ask for an address your website does not
have. It is also called a 404. See [Redirects](/manage/redirects/).

### Palette

The set of colors used across your whole website. There are seventeen to pick
from, and picking one changes every page at once. See every one, light and
dark, on [Step 3: Choose your colors](/setup/choose-your-colors/), and the
steps to change it on [Plugins](/admin/plugins/).

### Passkey

Your device standing in for a password. Your fingerprint, your face or your
device PIN unlocks it, and there is nothing to type or forget. See [Signing
in](/start-here/signing-in/).

### Pending changes

A yellow tag meaning you have edited a published entry but not published the
edit. The public still sees the old version. See [Saving and
publishing](/start-here/saving-and-publishing/).

### Plugin

One extra feature built into your website, such as your lead inbox or your
photo folders. Every site gets its own set. See [Plugins](/admin/plugins/).

### Publish

Puts your saved work on the live website, right away. It is a separate step
from saving. See [Saving and publishing](/start-here/saving-and-publishing/).

### Redirect

A signpost at an old web address that sends anyone who lands there to a new
one. Visitors never notice it happen. See [Redirects](/manage/redirects/).

### Revision

A copy of what an entry said before you changed it. The panel keeps them, so
you can look up old wording or put it back. See [Saving and
publishing](/start-here/saving-and-publishing/).

### Role

What somebody is allowed to do in the panel. There are five, from
**Subscriber** who can only look, to **Admin** who can do everything. See
[Users](/admin/users/).

### Section

Two different things carry this name. **Manage**, then **Sections**, is a
saved lump of text you can drop into any page. See
[Sections](/manage/sections/). On a food menu, a section is a group of dishes
under one heading. See [Menu Sections (Food)](/content/menu-sections-food/).

### Service area

Your list of the towns you work in. It shows in the footer of every page. See
[Service Area](/content/service-area/).

### Service area page

A whole page about one town, with its own address, its own photo and its own
words. That is a different thing from the list above. See [Service Area
Pages](/content/service-area-pages/).

### Slug

The last part of an entry's web address, such as `kitchen-remodels`. Set it
once, while the entry is new, then leave it alone. See [Saving and
publishing](/start-here/saving-and-publishing/).

### Sort order

A box that sets which entry comes first. The lowest number goes first, and an
empty box counts as zero. See [Services](/content/services/).

### Spam

A lead that looks like it came from a robot. It is kept and flagged, no email
goes out for it, and it is thrown away after 30 days. See
[Leads](/plugins/leads/).

### Submission

A reply to a form you built yourself. Those land under **Submissions**, not in
your leads inbox. See [Form Designer](/plugins/form-designer/).

### Tag

A short label. The ones you put on a lead are real and useful. The **Tags**
screen under **Manage** is a different thing, and your website does not use
it. See [Tags](/manage/tags/).

### Testimonial

One customer quote. You write it once, and it shows on every page that has a
Testimonials block. See [Testimonials](/content/testimonials/).

### Trash

Where an entry waits after you move it there. It is a junk drawer, not a
shredder, and you can take things back out. See [Saving and
publishing](/start-here/saving-and-publishing/).

### Unpublish

Takes an entry off your website and keeps it, word for word. Publishing puts
it back. See [Saving and publishing](/start-here/saving-and-publishing/).

### Version number

The number in the bottom left corner of the panel. Send it to us when you ask
for help. See [Getting support](/help/getting-support/). Your website carries a
second number, in its footer. See [Is this manual for my
site?](/help/is-this-manual-for-my-site/).

### Widget

A small box for a sidebar. Your website has no sidebars, so the **Widgets**
screen changes nothing a visitor can see. See [Widgets](/manage/widgets/).
