Overview

The Globals studio is where you shape the chrome that wraps every page: the site header and footer, and the brand identity they carry (name, tagline, logo, voice). You can edit it directly in the rail, or describe what you want and let the agent preview it — and, like the other studios, nothing goes live until you click Publish.

Open the studio

Switch to Globals from the studio switcher in the console breadcrumb (/atelier). The studio opens with a live preview of your header and footer wrapping a placeholder page, a chat beside it, and a tabbed editor rail.

The editor tabs

Site details and error pages

The Site tab is where the site stops being anonymous: set the email address system mail (password resets, notifications) is sent from, and point the front page, 404, and 403 slots at pages you've built — pick any published page from the same picker used everywhere else in the console. On Publish the choice takes effect immediately: your chosen page serves at the site root, and visitors who hit a missing or restricted URL see your page instead of a bare error.

Every field here is optional. An empty field means "use the default", and clearing a field later puts the default back — deleting a page that a slot points at also safely resets that slot.

Editing by chat

Describe what you want and the agent previews it instantly — for example:

• "Rename the site to Lumen with the tagline 'Light, organised'."
• "Centre the logo and stop the header sticking."
• "Make the footer stacked and hide its tagline."

The agent applies its change to the same draft the rail edits, so the live preview re-renders and the edited fields light up in the rail with an unsaved-change count. Keep refining in chat or tweak the fields directly — then Publish when you're happy, or Discard to revert to the saved chrome.

Menus are yours to edit

The agent shapes layout and identity, but it does not edit your navigation menus — you manage header and footer links yourself in the inline menu editor on the Header and Footer tabs (add, rename, re-point, reorder, or remove a link). If you ask the agent to change a link, it points you to the menu editor.

Link to a page, or to any URL

Each link targets one of two things — flip the URL ｜ Page switch under its label:

• Page — pick one of your published pages. The link then tracks that page: it always points at the page's current published URL, so renaming or re-aliasing the page keeps the menu correct with no extra work.
• URL — type any address yourself: a path on your own site (/about, /pricing) or a full external link (https://…).

Nested menus (sub-menus)

Menus can nest as deep as you like. To give a link sub-items, use its go-in control (the chevron with a child-count badge) — the editor drills into that link and shows just its children, with a breadcrumb (e.g. Header menu › Products) to step back up. You edit one level at a time, which keeps the rail readable however deep the menu goes.

On the published site, nesting renders automatically: in the header a parent link opens a drop-down (on hover and on keyboard focus) with its children flying out; in the footer children group as a column under their parent.

How it relates to the other studios

Globals sits in the same family as the Design System studio and the Pages studio: an agent previews, you decide, and Publish is the only thing that changes the live site. Identity set here (name, tagline, logo) is the single source the header, footer, and page metadata all read.
