Builder Overview

The Draftbit Builder is your workspace for turning app concepts into reality. It combines a Home view, visual editor, live preview, AI agent, code editor, integrations, build configuration, and publishing tools in one place.

To learn more about the different Builder views, follow the links below.

Main Menu

You can access the main areas of the Builder from the project navigation on the left side of the Builder. The Home icon opens the default app workspace with the preview, agent, and editor panel available without opening the full screens/components layout.

Icon	Action	Description
	Visual Editor	Visually design screens, components, and styles with AI assistance
	Preview	Test and preview your application as you build
	Code Editor	Edit your code directly using the built-in editor
	API&Data	Manage third-party APIs & data sources for your app
	Publishing	Manage app publishing and deployments to web, iOS, and Android
	Agent Config	Manage agent defaults, provider keys, saved prompts, and instructions
	Build Config	Manage environment variables, packages, and build-time configuration

	Project Integrations	Manage third-party service integrations for your app at the project level
	Project Settings	Configure project settings and preferences

Workspace Layout

The Builder remembers how you arrange each app. Panels you collapse, splits you resize, and whether Logs is open stay the same when you reload or come back later. Each app keeps its own layout, so changes in one app don’t affect another. Where you dock Logs (top, bottom, left, or right) is a single setting for all your apps, and Logs remembers its size in each position.

To return the app you have open to the default layout, open the account menu from your avatar and choose Reset layout. The Builder reloads with the default panels and sizes.

Mobile Builder

On mobile-width screens, the Builder switches from the left project navigation to bottom tabs. The Home view includes Preview, Agent, Editor, and Account. The full Visual Editor also includes a Screens tab for the screens list and component tree.

Support Menu

The bottom More menu groups helpful resources and secondary controls such as What’s New, Roadmap, Docs, Videos, Sandbox Status, and the light/dark theme switcher.
