The **Welcome Hub** is your ESTAGE home page: one screen that links to every ESTAGE product you
use, shows the projects you opened last, and keeps your credits and account menu in reach. It is
the starting point for your ESTAGE account, not to be confused with the business hub you build in
Genesis.

Open it at `hub.estage.com`. In Genesis, the ESTAGE logo at the top left of the projects dashboard
and account settings takes you there, and **Welcome Hub** is the first entry in the product
switcher next to it.

## Signing in

The Welcome Hub has no sign-in form of its own. If you aren't signed in, you're sent to the ESTAGE
sign-in page first. It uses the same ESTAGE sign-in as Genesis, so **Open Genesis** and your recent
projects open without asking you to sign in again.

## What's on the page

| Area | What it does |
| --- | --- |
| **Greeting** | Greets you by first name, with today's date |
| **ESTAGE Genesis** banner | **Open Genesis** opens the AI builder. Older accounts also see **Open Legacy Builder** — see [below](#the-legacy-builder) |
| **Recent projects** | Your 3 most recently opened Genesis projects. Select one to open it in Genesis; **All projects** opens the [projects dashboard](/getting-started/dashboard/) |
| **Quick access** | A card for each ESTAGE product — see the table below |
| **Dashboard** (top bar) | A switcher listing the same products, plus **Builder & Projects** for Genesis |
| Your name (top bar) | The profile menu — see [below](#the-profile-menu) |

Every link on the page opens in a new browser tab, so the Welcome Hub stays open behind it.

### Recent projects

Each project shows a preview: a screenshot of the published site, or of the builder preview if
the project has never been published.

If you have no projects, the strip reads *"No projects yet — start your first one in Genesis."*
If the list can't be loaded, it says so, and **All projects** still takes you to the dashboard.

### Quick access

| Card | Button | Where it goes |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **ESTAGE Community** | **Visit community** | The ESTAGE community for ESTAGE users |
| **ESTAGE Mail** | **Open Mail** | Webmail for your [ESTAGE mailboxes](/domains/email/) |
| **Video Library** | **View videos** | Your [video library](/video/) |
| **ESTAGE Apps** | **Explore apps** | The download page for the [ESTAGE Genesis desktop app](/workspace/desktop-app/) |
| **Vault Alliance** | **Explore the vault** | Vault Alliance — courses, funnels and offers for your hub |
| **Support Center** | **Get support** | The ESTAGE help center, signed in with your ESTAGE account |

## The profile menu

Select your name at the top right to open it.

| Item | What it does |
| --- | --- |
| Name and email | The account you're signed in with |
| **Credits** | Your remaining AI credits. Select it (**Manage →**) to open **Allocation & credits** in your Genesis account settings, where you top up |
| **Theme** | **Light theme**, **Follow system** or **Dark theme**, for the Welcome Hub in this browser |
| **My Templates** | The templates you manage in Genesis |
| **Settings** | Your account settings in Genesis |
| **Knowledge Base** | This documentation |
| **Log out** | Signs you out and takes you to the ESTAGE sign-in page |

## The legacy builder

**Open Legacy Builder** opens the previous ESTAGE builder, where projects made before Genesis
live. It appears only for older accounts; newer accounts have no legacy projects, so the button
never shows for them.

## Accepting an updated service agreement

When ESTAGE publishes a new service agreement you haven't accepted yet, the Welcome Hub opens it
in a window titled **Action required: updated service agreement** before you can do anything
else.

1. Read the agreement in the window. If it doesn't display, select **Open it in a new tab**.
2. Tick **I have read and agree to the Agreement**.
3. Select **I agree to these terms**.

The window can't be closed any other way. If you've already accepted the agreement it replaces,
you may instead see a short notice explaining what changed — select **Got it** to dismiss it for
good.

## Things worth knowing

- **Billing, plans and profile details aren't edited here.** **Settings** and **Credits** open your
  account settings in Genesis.
- **ESTAGE Mail asks you to sign in separately.** Webmail signs in with the mailbox address and its
  password, not your ESTAGE account.
- **The theme choice is per browser** and applies to the Welcome Hub only; Genesis has its own
  theme switch.
