General

The General tab covers your site’s basic identity, its publish status, and quick toggles for optional modules.

FieldWhat it does
Project nameThe name shown in your project list and browser tabs.
DescriptionUp to 300 characters. Used as the default meta description and social-share text when you haven’t set a custom one in SEO.
FaviconThe small icon in browser tabs and bookmarks. Pick an image from your Media Library.

Changes here are saved with the floating Save bar that appears at the bottom when you edit a field.

When your site is live, this section shows its published state and an Unpublish button.

Unpublishing doesn’t delete anything — it tells search engines to stop indexing your site (it swaps your robots.txt to disallow crawling). Your project and its content stay intact, and you can publish again at any time.

When a project is imported from the classic platform, you type in an Estage project ID. That ID is the binding: it decides which community, CRM, products, and members your builder talks to. Type the wrong one and the project used to stay wired to the wrong Estage project forever — the only way out was rebuilding from scratch.

Now you can move it.

How it works: open the project’s menu on the dashboardRe-bind to Estage project… (or Settings → General → Estage project), enter the correct ID, and confirm. Genesis checks that the target project is really yours, then moves everything into it:

  • every file and page, including page folders
  • your whole chat history with the AI
  • project settings, theme, and global variables
  • any place your site’s code had the old ID hard-coded — it gets re-pointed at the new one

The old project is archived, not deleted — restore it any time from the dashboard Archive. If anything fails mid-way, nothing is changed at all.

A few things don’t move, and Genesis tells you exactly which ones when the move finishes:

  • Configured elements — order forms, form actions, live streams. Their payment keys, products, and lists belong to the old Estage project, so re-run those wizards on the new one.
  • The Community toolkit binding.
  • Connected domains — re-attach the domain afterwards.

From General (and the dedicated Modules tab) you can switch on optional features:

  • Blog — scaffolds a /blog section with posts, authors, and categories. Click Add blog to this site to set it up, or Open editor → if it’s already on.
  • Community — spins up a social space with groups, courses, events, and a member feed.
  • Marketing Funnels — opens the node-based funnel builder for this project.
  • CRM — opens your Estage CRM to manage contacts, products, and payments.
