# Your sites and projects

Find, open, duplicate and delete your sites in the Websites list, learn what a draft site and a live site can do, and protect a live site with a password.

The **Websites** page is the home of the dashboard. It lists every site on your account, live and draft. UOVA has no separate Projects page: the older Projects address redirects here. Every plan can hold any number of sites.

## The Websites list

Each row shows a thumbnail, whether the site is live and since when, the visitors of the last 7 days, and unread messages. Choose list or grid view.

| Control | Options |
| --- | --- |
| Filter | **All websites**, **Live**, **Drafts**, **Starred** |
| Sort | Last edited, name, visitors. Drafts always sort last on visitors. |
| Search | Search your sites |
| Create website | Opens the home page prompt box, where you describe a new site. See [Generate a site from a prompt](https://www.uova.com/help/build/generate-a-site). |

### The row menu

| Item | What it does |
| --- | --- |
| **Open** | Opens the site's own dashboard pages. |
| **Edit site** | Opens the editor. |
| **View live** | Opens the live address in a new tab. Shown only for a live site. |
| **Analytics** | Opens that site's Analytics. Shown only for a live site. |
| **Copy link** | Copies the live address. Shown only for a live site. |
| **Star** / **Unstar** | Adds or removes the site from the Starred filter. |
| **Duplicate** | Makes a copy as a new draft and shows "Made a copy of <name>" with an **Open** button. |
| **Delete** | Asks for confirmation first. A live site's dialog says "This takes <address> offline immediately. This cannot be undone." A draft's says "This action cannot be undone. The project and all its data will be permanently removed." The button reads **Delete website**. |

## Draft and live

A site is a draft until you publish it (see [Publishing](https://www.uova.com/help/build/publish)). Opening a site shows a panel of pages that belong to that one site, with a link back to all websites and a switcher for other sites.

| Section | Contains | On a draft site |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Home | Your site in a frame, a last-30-days card, a six-step checklist and your latest messages. | Works |
| Website | Editor, Versions, Custom code. | Works |
| Store | Products (managed in the editor) and Orders. | Works |
| Content & Memberships | Posts, and Access, which locks the live site behind a password. | Posts work. Access asks you to publish first. |
| Scheduling | The site's booking link and booking requests from forms. | The booking link works. Requests arrive once the site is live. |
| Finance | The money overview. Orders, Payments and Payouts are sub-pages. | Overview works; the three sub-pages ask you to publish first |
| Donations | Paid and refunded donations. | Publish first |
| Invoicing & Pay Links | Invoices and pay links. | Publish first |
| Inbox and Contacts | Messages and people. | Publish first |
| Campaigns | Email campaigns, drafts, subscribers, segments, Automations and an SMS consent list. | Publish first |
| Analytics | Visits to this site. | Publish first |
| SEO and Marketing | Search and share appearance and redirects; sign-up pop-up, announcement bar, share kit, GA4 and Meta Pixel. | Publish first |

## The Home checklist

Site Home shows six steps: describe, publish, SEO, share, domain and message. Each links to where you do it. The Domain step leads to [Domains](https://www.uova.com/help/build/domains), and the SEO step to [SEO settings](https://www.uova.com/help/build/seo).

## Protect a live site with a password

A live site can ask every visitor for one shared password. The publish window offers only public access, so you set the password afterwards in the dashboard.

1. **Open the site's Access tab** Open the site, then **Content & Memberships**, then the **Access** tab. A draft shows "Publish <name> first" because the password protects the live site.
2. **Choose People with the password** The three choices are **Everyone**, **People with the password** and **Members only**. **Members only** stays unavailable until UOVA has switched on membership sign-in.
3. **Add a password** Type a password of at least 8 characters, type it again, and select **Turn on password**. You see "<address> asks for a password on every page".
4. **Check the live site** Visitors see a password page on every page of the site. A wrong entry shows "That password isn't right." The change reaches every visitor within a minute.

- **Change password** replaces it, and everyone must use the new one. **Remove password** opens the site to everyone again straight away.
- A visitor who enters the right password stays unlocked for 30 days on that device.
- After 10 wrong tries from one address in 10 minutes, the page says "Too many tries. Wait a few minutes, then try again."
- A password-protected site is excluded from search engines.
- The password covers the whole site. Page-level access is not available.

## Site settings

Site settings open as a full-screen overlay. Press the X or Esc to return.

| Pane | What it does |
| --- | --- |
| General | Rename the site (the display name, not the address), see its status, and switch the cookie banner on once published. Google Analytics and Meta Pixel load only after a visitor consents. There is no business-info form. |
| Domain | Lists `<slug>.uova.io` and your domains with a status dot, **Check again** and **Make primary**. Connecting, buying and renewing happen on the Domains page. A draft must be published first. |
| Code | Head code for verification tags and analytics. See [Custom CSS, HTML blocks and head code](https://www.uova.com/help/build/editor/custom-code). It needs a published address. |
| Versions | Compare and restore saved versions. See [Versions and republishing](https://www.uova.com/help/build/publish/versions-and-republishing). |
| Danger zone | Unpublish, or Delete website with a typed DELETE. See [Unpublish or delete a site](https://www.uova.com/help/build/publish/unpublish-and-delete). |

## Limits

- No collaborators, team workspaces or roles. The editor has no team feature.
- No transfer of a site to another account. The editor has no transfer option.
- Renaming a site never changes its uova.io address.
- One password for the whole site, and no per-page locks.

**Where did my Projects page go?**

Projects and Websites are one list now. The Projects address redirects to **Websites**.

**Why does my Inbox ask me to publish first?**

Inbox, Contacts, Campaigns, Analytics and a few other pages work only once the site is live. Your content is not lost; they open after you publish.

**Can a second person edit my site?**

No. UOVA has no shared workspaces or seats.

**Can I make a site private?**

Yes, with one shared password on the Access tab of Content & Memberships. Visitors cannot be given separate logins today.
