- Choose branch or GitHub Actions The two ways GitHub Pages receives a static build - served straight from a branch (gh-pages, or main with /docs), or deployed by a GitHub Actions workflow that the build writes - and which one to take.
- Move or rename INI settings A PHP migration that moves settings of an installation's override from site.ini to a file of their own and renames one on the way, keeps the value of each installation, writes the new file before it removes the old…
- Offboarding staff What to do on the last working day of an editor, freelancer or agency on an Exponential site - disable rather than remove, hand over drafts and approvals, revoke API keys and tokens, and check the result - with a record…
- Quick reference for site owners Where the things a site owner looks at live in the administration of Exponential, with the menu path and the address: dashboard, content, store, users, workflows, logs, audit, maintenance, upgrade check and the help.
- Sessions and sign-in security exp:user:sessions lists and ends the signed-in sessions of an account, exp:user:unlock resets the failed sign-in counter of a locked account, and exp:user:2fa shows, resets or removes two-step sign-in and passkeys.
- Setting up accounts for editors and administrators An administrator creates an editor's account in the Editors group, checks it by signing in as the new user, and hands the sign-in over so that the editor sets a password only they know; the same steps for further…
- What AI in Exponential does not do The limits of AI in Exponential in one place - the assistant does not publish on its own, use a service account, upload images or files, or send anything before you configure a provider; agents get no rights beyond…
- Accounts, passwords and two-step sign-in The owner's rules for the team's accounts on an Exponential site - personal accounts, the shipped password rules, two-step sign-in as an option or a requirement, lost phones and locked accounts - and what to ask the…
- Add roles and policies A migration that creates the role News editor with its policies, limits two of them to the class news_article, assigns it to the user group Editors found by remote id, and removes role, policies and assignment in down().
- Import, export and bulk changes exp:user:export writes the accounts the list filters select as CSV or JSON without any password, exp:user:import creates accounts from a CSV or JSON file exactly like exp:user:create, and exp:user:bulk disables…
- Links and base path Why a GitHub project site lives below /<repository>/, how relative links and a base path differ, which to choose, and what happens to links the static copy cannot hold.
- Security basics The owner's view of security on an Exponential site - what the software already does by default, the few things only your organization can decide, who should do what, and where the detailed guides are.
- What the Editor role allows The roles an account in the Editors group has (Editor, Member, Member management, Editor account requests) and, in plain words, every permission of the Editor role: creating, editing, hiding, restoring, uploading many…
- Audit and hygiene exp:user:audit shows the user audit log rows about an account or by it, filtered by event, result and dates; exp:user:hygiene counts the accounts per state, each with the exp:user:list command that lists them.
- Build, preview and publish Build a target in the background and follow its progress, check the build - what changes with sizes, the report, the size against GitHub's limits, the copy itself - then publish it or throw it away.
- Managing members Editors create, edit, enable, disable, move and remove the accounts of the site's front-end members in the Members group, through the role Member management; the accounts of administrators and editors stay out of reach…
- Migrations: a tour of Setup > Migrations A guided tour of every screen of Setup > Migrations with screenshots - the tabs, what each one is for, the dashboard block, the Recording bar and the website sidebar - and a table that says which page to open for each…
