Administration panel

The admin panel is the back office of your Strapi application. From the admin panel, you will be able to manage content-types, and write their actual content. It is also from the admin panel that you will manage users, both administrators and end users of your Strapi application.

Overview

Configuration

Path to configure the admin panel: Account name or initials (bottom left hand corner) > Profile

If you are a new administrator, we recommend making sure your profile is all set, before diving into your Strapi application. From your administrator profile, you are able to modify your user information, such as name, username, email or password. You can also choose the language and mode of the interface for your Strapi application.

Choosing interface language

In the Experience section of your profile, select your preferred language using the Interface language dropdown.

Note

Keep in mind that choosing an interface language only applies to your account on the admin panel. Other users of the same application's admin panel can use a different language.

Choosing interface mode (light, dark)

By default, the chosen interface mode is based on your browser's mode. You can however, in the Experience section of your profile, manually choose either the Light Mode or Dark Mode using the Interface mode dropdown.

Note

Keep in mind that choosing an interface mode only applies to your account on the admin panel.
