# Navigate Creatora

> Find the Admin Panel and learn how to move between managing and viewing your platform.

Creatora has two main environments:

* the **platform**, which includes the pages visitors and students see (for example, the home page and a course sales page);
* the **Admin Panel**, where you manage content and settings.

You can move between the platform and the Admin Panel using the same administrator account.

## The orange bar

The orange bar:

* gives you access to the Admin Panel and a few quick management actions;
* is visible only to administrators;
* is available on computers and tablets; it does not appear in vertical smartphone view.

## How to open the Admin Panel

Open the platform and sign in with your account email. Select **Go to admin panel** in the orange bar.

If you are in the Admin Panel and want to return to the platform, select **Log out** in the top bar.

<Warning>
  **Log out** takes you out of the Admin Panel, but does not log you out: you remain signed in to your account.
</Warning>

<Tip>
  If you use keyboard shortcuts, press **⌘K** on Mac or **Ctrl+K** on Windows to open search in the Admin Panel. You can search for a registered account or quickly open a menu item.
</Tip>

## How to view the platform as a guest

When you view the platform as an administrator, the courses you see appear unlocked. To see the platform as someone who is not signed in, select **View as guest** in the orange bar.

To leave guest mode, select **Back to administrator view**.

Guest view does not show the experience of a student who is signed in or has purchased a course.

You can now [customize the platform](/en/prepare-the-platform/customize-the-platform) or [create and organize a course](/en/courses-and-learning/create-and-organize-a-course). To choose another task, see [Introduction to Creatora](/en/introduction-to-creatora).
