After publishing the Cleo project file, the admin area is the first place you want to go to. You can access it from the footer of every page of your website, or by visiting

The admin area dashboard
After the log-in you will find yourself in the admin area dashboard. Here is displayed a step by step guide that will help you set up the project file in no time.
Use the side menu to move around the admin pages giving you a fluid editing experience. This admin area is built in a very interesting way: it loads iFrames instead of loading a new page each time you select it from the menu.

Settings
In this area you will find all the general settings that make your website work. Some of these settings come from your admin area Dashboard such as the Optional Stacks section. The reason why you can find it here too is because once your website is ready to launch you might want to redesign the admin area Dashboard to your needs, getting rid of the default content.
Automatic Changes with Toggles
When you turn on/off a Optional Stack toggle the experience changes both in the live website as well as in the admin area. Some features and admin area sections are available only if you use those optional stacks.
