Unsaved Playground

This site is running only in the current page. Save locally to make it survive refresh and appear in Your Playgrounds.

Save progress state

The Save action shows browser-storage progress before the identity switches to a saved row.

Active row after save

No saved row is active yet. Reloading now starts over.

Start and Resume

Saved Identity

The active identity is managed as a tab: unsaved warning, save progress, saved row, rename/delete, and explicit reload/reset consequences are all visible.

Current state: Unsaved Playground

Reload consequence: this page will start over because the site is not in local browser storage yet. Reset consequence: applying runtime settings wipes database, uploads, and theme edits.

ZIP

Navigation shortcuts

These mirror the Site Manager header buttons and keep common WordPress jumps near the live site.
