Navigating System, Content, and Plugins in the Console

The console organizes CMS tools into accordion sections.

Open an accordion to view the tools inside it. The tools you see depend on your CMS permissions and the features enabled for your site. Users with restricted permissions may not be able to access all tools.

The console accordions expand to show the tools available in each section.
