About Contexts, Features & Feature Sets
Core WFX concepts
WFX's feature set and navigation paradigm is based on a concept we call Contexts. All of our documentation is organized by these contexts, so it's good to have a basic understanding of how they work.
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.iostaged siteContent editor - your public site but in
?editmodeDesigner - 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.
Feature sets are typically represented as tabs, e.g. Info, Support, Tech, Resources, etc.
Features are capabilities that generally live within those tabs.
Here's a general breakdown of the features and feature sets we're working on.
