Atelier CMS by AIncient Labs

The System back-office

A deliberately small set of technical settings, kept out of your way — the console stays home

Almost everything you do lives in the console. A few technical settings live in the System back-office, and Atelier keeps that on purpose small.

Where it is

Open the System back-office at /admin, reachable from your account menu. When you're done, a ← Console link jumps you straight back to /atelier. You'll rarely need to visit — the console is home.

What lives there

Atelier keeps the back-office to just the technical settings that don't belong in a studio:

People

Manage accounts and roles — who can sign in and what they can do.

AI metering

See your AI usage and cost per turn, plus its settings.

Mail delivery

Configure how your site sends email. See email.

Languages

Add and manage the languages your site is available in. See multilingual pages.

The back-office is intentionally minimal. Building pages, media, brand, and everything day-to-day happens in the console — not here.

Which version am I running?

Open Reports → Status report at /admin/reports/status and look for the Atelier version row.

Atelier ships as a container image that updates itself when you pull a newer one, so this row — not the date you installed — is what tells you which Atelier you're actually running. Include it whenever you report a problem: it's the difference between a bug we've already fixed in a newer image and one we haven't heard about.

You'll see one of three things:

  • A version like v0.1.0 — a released image. This is the normal answer.
  • A version with +edge. and a short code, like v0.5.1+edge.a1b2c3d — a rolling build off our main branch rather than a release. The version in front is the last release it contains; the code after it identifies the exact build. Newer, but less settled — include the whole string. (Builds published before August 2026 read edge+ and a code, with no version in front.) Edge is for testing; see channels to move back to released versions.
  • "Development" — not a released image at all, which is expected if you're running Atelier from source. If you installed from a release and still see this, mention that too.

Tip

The same page lists your PHP and database versions and flags anything Atelier thinks needs attention — so it's a good screenshot to attach to a bug report as-is.

Tip

If you're not sure where a setting lives, start in the console. Only reach for /admin when you need People, AI metering, Mail, or Languages — then use ← Console to get back to work.
