2. Neutral Account Chrome (tab=org:account:chrome)
The Account Surface Chrome provides a clean, neutral header and footer frame for shared customer identity screens: Login, Sign-Up, Forgot Password, and Profile Settings.
[!NOTE] Why keep Account Chrome neutral? A visitor logging in might be a shopper, a blog reader, or a support user. Removing distracting audience navigation (like shop search bars or promotional banners) keeps the authentication screen clean and focused.
Configurable Controls
- Header Brand Logo Position: Left-aligned or Centered logo placement.
- Minimal Header Navigation Links: Simple links (e.g. "Back to Main Site" or "Help").
- Footer Legal Links: Privacy Policy and Terms & Conditions links.
3. Interactive Visual Site Map (tab=org:sitemap)
The Site Map tab provides a complete visual tree of every public page on your platform, organized by Organization defaults and child Projects:
