Understanding "Current" and "Changes" (draft vs live)

This is the most important idea in the whole guide. Once it clicks, you stop worrying that every AI edit or Inspector tweak will break the live site.

Opening Creator for the first time: Welcome, Session, Loading

Read the empty-chat Welcome + template chooser, the Choose Session modal after clearing localStorage session id, and Site online warnings in Settings / Versions.

Creator — Appifio Client

View all

Config sheets & file lifecycle full methods — params · returns · notes

Whole-file JSON sheets (settings), create/delete/restore, rename, find files, and read/write single fields in storage.

View

Indexed multi-row ledgers 4 methods — full structure

Use for blogs, contacts, products, orders. Do not use writeFile to write individual list rows.

View

9 end-to-end examples copy · adjust · run

Blog admin/public, a separate auth panel, contact & checkout forms — each example is a shortened block that still keeps every important call.

View

Creator — Aura CMS

View all

CMS Settings: site mode, team accounts, security & MCP

Series G wrap-up: configure the whole site in one place, grant team access, and turn on MCP from the CMS panel — without returning to Creator for every task.

View

Contacts · Products · Orders run a shop site in Aura CMS

Three pieces in one panel: customers leave contacts, you manage products, and you track orders — without opening Creator for every update.

View

Manage Posts & static Pages in Aura CMS

Publish blog posts, organize categories/tags, and track static pages — without reopening Creator for every update.

View

Creator — Aura Storage deep dive

View all

Public contact form (no login required)

Safe flow: visitors append one row to the contact ledger, see a thank-you, and if they submit too often they see “Try again later”.

View

URLs and HTML pages must travel together

Avoid “blank page / 404”: having a page file is not enough — you also need a matching route.

View

Configure the IDE on Windows safe paths

Avoid path errors: folders without spaces; use / or \\ exactly as the zip package shows.

View

Creator — Backend

View all

Contact / signup form saved to Aura Storage (no CMS required)

How guests submit a form without logging in — data lands in a list you can review later, even before you open Aura CMS.

View

Flat vs Indexed JSON: pick the right data shape from day one

F-series wrap-up: one rule that keeps you (and AI) from breaking data structure as the app grows — plain analogies, no coding required.

View

Secrets manager & Backend Function — keep secrets off the page

When the app calls outside services (email, payments…) with its own API keys, those keys live in Secrets manager. Only server-side Backend Functions may read them — browsers never see the full secret value.

View

Creator — Canvas & Inspector

View all

Photo Editor professional image editing inside Creator

No need to open Photoshop or Canva separately — crop, adjust color, remove backgrounds, erase objects, and add effects right in Appifio Creator, then save the result for your pages.

View

Add blocks & Template library in Inspector

Beyond editing what’s already on the page, Inspector lets you drag standard blocks (buttons, tables, columns…), insert whole sections from the Template library, or have AI generate a new block from a description — without chatting to the main AI Agent.

View

Turn on Inspector: select elements, edit text & images

Enable the Inspector button, click elements in the preview, edit text/link/image without chatting to AI, and use Undo/Redo when you mis-edit.

View

Creator — Easy Storage

View all

Easy Storage: built-in helper & learning map

Backend tab = Simple version (Easy). You only call appifio_client — you do not rewrite the library.

View

Composite helpers content + route · index — full structure

Built on writeFile + addRoute. Fields / findByName: see EM03.

View

Site page files & upload full methods — params · returns · notes

Different from the JSON store (EM03). Easy: upload does not require admin login (only a page session key) — be careful with public forms.

View

Creator — Files & Routes

View all

The Files tab upload, soft/hard delete & Media Library

The Files tab is where you manage every HTML/CSS/JS/image file in the project. This lesson covers uploading images to the right place, organizing the media library, and the difference between soft delete (recoverable) and permanent delete (gone).

View

The Code tab edit HTML/CSS/JS directly — and when not to

The Code tab shows and edits the raw source of the selected file. It’s powerful and also the riskiest surface in Creator — this lesson helps you know when to use it, and when to hand off to Inspector or AI.

View

The Libraries tab · Stock Images · Fonts · CDN Libraries

One tab, three subtabs: find Pixabay/Pexels/Unsplash photos, enable fonts (including Vietnamese text), and toggle Bootstrap/icons/charts — the system injects them when the page loads, so AI doesn’t need to paste tags into HTML.

View

Creator — Skills

View all

Custom domain & preview iframe — live site OK, editor blocked

When a link uses a custom domain, the browser blocks the Creator preview iframe — the site isn’t “broken.” This lesson walks through the correct overlay labels and fix.

View

MCP paths on Windows Method A with / · Method B escaped backslash · Copy

MCP JSON config breaks because of one \ — the last K lesson: fill Extracted folder correctly and copy a safe path sample into your IDE.

View

Safe guest forms with appendData

Visitors submit contact/order forms without an admin session — append only when policy allows; handle rate-limit messages; ban dangerous operations.

How Appifio runs and who it fits

Understand the operating model so you can answer: Am I in the group that gets real value? Not a deep technical manual — a decision brief before you invest time.

Appifio Creator overview and a map of the main features

By the end of this lesson you will know what Creator is, how its five working areas fit together, and which learning path to follow for a biolink, landing page, website, or webapp — even if you do not write code.

View

Easy vs Aura Storage a detailed comparison of the two backend models

Full side-by-side on philosophy, storage, security, JSON parsing, methods, FS/routes, helpers, codegen flow — and how to enable the right Prompt template so the AI generates for the Storage edition you actually run.

View

Creator — Versions & Export

View all

Checkpoint on AI messages mark a point and restore fast — without Versions

A Checkpoint snapshots the current session (source code and chat state) on an AI reply so you can return later without opening Versions.

View

Export: Screenshot, PDF, .afi, ZIP & APK (BETA)

Pick the right export format for each goal: quick client preview, print, source backup, or a trial Android package.

View

Save changes, Discard, Share Unpublished draft, comments & Review

Publish at the right time, share a draft safely for preview, and collect feedback on the real UI instead of scattered chat messages.

View

Creator — Troubleshooting

View all

“Preview unavailable” (custom domain)

The preview iframe is blocked when the link uses a custom domain — Creator isn’t “broken”; the live site can still run normally.

View

Preview not updating after AI

AI says it’s done but the iframe still looks old — a ~60-second checklist before you write another prompt.

View

Rate limit / IP blocked on form submit

The form says “try again later,” chat shows a send limit, or requests are temporarily blocked — intentional protection, not a bug to “hack.”

View

Creator — Quick AI create

View all

Build a personal / brand biolink in one sitting

An end-to-end flow: start from a prompt or Template, check Canvas Mobile, polish copy and images with Inspector, then Save changes and share the link — no coding required.

View

First AI chat: write a prompt that produces a full page

This lesson covers picking the right chat mode, writing a structured prompt, and using attachments plus the project profile — so the AI gets closer to what you want on the first send, instead of many fix-up rounds.

View

AI modes: Chat · Coder · Debug · UI · Architecture

This lesson covers the five AI chat modes, the three toggles Auto Reasoner / AI Supervisor / Context summary, when to use each, and why the right mode choice really does save monthly AI Tokens.

View

Creator — Glossary

View all

AI tokens & Prompt profile (Prompt & Skills)

Tokens are your monthly “thinking budget.” The AI Tokens panel shows Used / Limit next to the chat. A Prompt profile is the skill/tone injected on every Send while that profile is on.

View

Aura MCP: sandbox · token · bridge

Three MCP ideas people often mash into one. Separate them and you’ll see why the IDE “already fixed” the site while live hasn’t changed — and why you get 403 after ~24 hours.

View

Checkpoint vs History vs Versions (+ Undo)

Four layers of “go back” — different scopes. Mix them up and you lose work, or think you’re backed up when you aren’t.

View

Creator — Webapp & MCP

View all

Aura MCP: enable gateway, sandbox, token, IDE setup

For anyone who wants a familiar IDE (Cursor, etc.) to edit the app with AI — and must keep the sandbox vs live boundary clear.

View

AI Diff, History & DOM Search

Three tools so you control changes instead of “AI finished — hope it works”: Diff compare (✓/✗), restore points in Edit history, and find elements with DOM Search (Ctrl+Shift+F).

View

Android Mock & path to Capacitor APK export (BETA)

Be clear: previewing an Android frame ≠ a store-ready app. Know when to use Android Mock, when to use Export APK, and what the system cannot do.
