# How do Pages and templates work?

Open Pages to see your live pages, or start from a template that connects the apps it needs and creates the page for you.

A template is a ready-made live page, such as **Stripe revenue** or **Sentry error watch**. Bluedeer shows your live pages and the templates in the workspace you have selected. Read [How do live pages work?](https://support.bluedeer.ai/bluedeer/chats/live-pages.md) for what a live page can do.

These steps are for the web app. The phone steps are at the end.

## Open Pages

In the sidebar, select **Pages**. It sits under **More** until you pin it: select the pin button on that row (**Pin Pages to the sidebar**) to keep it in the sidebar.

- With no pages yet, Pages shows template previews in a grid that fits your screen. Select one to open that template.
- With some pages, select **Templates** at the top right to open the template gallery.

## Use a template

Each template card says what its page shows, and lists every connector it needs with its own button:

- **Connect** opens that connector's sign-in.
- **Sign in again** appears when a connector's sign-in has expired.
- **Open its settings** appears when the connector doesn't offer a tool the page needs.

Tools that ask first are fine. When you open the new page, it asks you once to allow everything it uses, just for that page. Read [How do live pages work?](https://support.bluedeer.ai/bluedeer/chats/live-pages.md).

The card counts what is missing, such as **Needs all 3: 2 to go**, and lists each connector with its own button. When everything is ready, select **Create**. Bluedeer makes the page, puts it in a project if you chose one, and opens it. Pages you make from a template are private to you. Their buttons, such as **Resolve** in Sentry error watch or **Save review to Notion**, always show when the connector has that tool.

Some connectors' data loads when you select **Load** on the page. Others refresh on their own.

## Suggested templates

After you connect a service, Bluedeer may suggest a template built on it, such as **You connected Stripe. Try Stripe revenue.**

## On the phone

On Home, the **LIVE DATA** section always shows.

- With no pages, it shows template previews. Scroll them sideways and tap one to open that template.
- With pages, it shows the newest three. Tap one to open its page. Tap **Live pages** to see all of them.
- Tap **Templates** at the top right to open the gallery. It works the same as on the web.
- Opening a page that needs something shows the same dialog as on the web, with **Don't ask on this page**. Connecting an app from it happens in the app.
