How to view the site as a visitor without leaving the admin panel

← Back

Click the person icon in the top right corner of the header — the site will be shown as to a regular user, without gears and edit buttons. Clicking again returns to administrator mode.

  1. Find the person icon with a gear in the top right corner of the header (tooltip “Administrator mode. Click to view the site as a user”). On mobile, it is a circle next to the menu button.
  2. Click it. The button will turn orange with the label “User”, and the page will redraw without gears, handles, plus signs, and inline editing.
  3. To return, click this button again.

In this mode, the site is assembled as a logged-in user without administrator rights sees it: menu, access levels, “Administrators only” sections — everything as they see it. “Guests only” sections are still not visible: you are logged in, after all.

The mode is remembered in this browser for a year, separately for each site. Other administrators and visitors do not notice anything. Rights are not lost: if a settings window is open in another tab, saving there will work.

If it didn't work

  • I enabled the mode on a service page — I was redirected to the home page. That's by design: service pages are closed to users, and instead of “Access denied” you are taken to the home page.
  • All edit buttons disappeared and won't come back. “User” mode is enabled — look at the orange button in the header and click it.
  • I want to see the site as a guest. This mode shows a logged-in user. To see it as a guest, open the site in a private browser window.

Tips for working with the builder

The "Help" section is made for those who are building a website on "Pervaya Liniya" for the first time. It contains answers to common questions: how to create a website, what to write in the fields, how to edit texts and photos, how to connect your own domain, and how to set up sections. The materials will help you figure things out without contacting support.

The builder is simple: you fill in the fields on the creation page, and then edit the content directly on the finished website. If something does not work or is unclear, check the relevant help item. The instructions are written in plain language and describe every step.

In Help you will find answers to questions:

  • how to come up with a website address and what to do if the name is taken;
  • how to change the title, description, and other texts on the page;
  • how to add products, services, or request forms;
  • how to connect your own domain instead of an address on firstline.com.ua;
  • how to set up sections and modules for your business needs.

If you cannot find the answer you need, use the feedback form — we will help you figure it out. The section is updated so that you can always find current information about working with the builder.
