Qbit editor overview

The Qbit editor is where you build the page a code opens. This tour covers the layout so everything else in this section makes sense.

Creating a page

1. Go to Qbits and click Create a Qbit.
2. Name it, add an optional description, and either Start from scratch or pick a template (the phone preview shows each one live).
3. Leave Create QR Code checked to get a connected code automatically — the fastest path from idea to scannable.
4. Click Create and you land in the editor.

The editor at a glance

• Left: the canvas. Your page's elements as a stack of rows — add, edit, drag to reorder.
• Right: the live preview. A phone frame showing the page as visitors will see it, refreshed as you edit.
• Above the preview: the Publish button, a save indicator, Share, and Preview (opens the draft full-screen in a new tab).

The five tabs

1. Content — the elements on your page. Where you'll spend most of your time. See Working with elements.
2. Appearance — themes, colors, fonts, and swatches. See Styling and themes.
3. QR Codes — the codes pointing at this page.
4. Settings — the page URL, social preview, tags, copy, and delete.
5. Templates — restart the page from a template (this replaces its content, so it asks you to confirm).

Two things to internalize early

• Everything autosaves. There's no save button — edits are stored a couple of seconds after you stop typing, and the save indicator confirms it.
• Saving isn't publishing. Your edits live in a draft until you click Publish — the live page never changes mid-edit. See Drafts, previewing, and publishing.
