Explorer guide

Graxeon Explorer is the browsing and sharing interface for your knowledge base. Team members use Explorer to search, read, and navigate collections — and editors can update items without needing full Studio access.

Accessing Explorer

Explorer runs at http://localhost:5057 (default self-hosted) or at graxeon.com/explor on the hosted plan. Users sign in with email and password — accounts are created in Studio by an admin.

Once signed in, the Explorer dashboard shows all collections you have been invited to. Collections are displayed as cards with item counts and schema information.

Browsing a collection

Click a collection card to open it. The collection view shows:

All items in the collection as cards with their type, name, and key fields
A filter bar to narrow by type or tag
A search bar for full-text search across all fields and bodies

Viewing an item

Click any item card to open it. The item view adapts to the item's primary media type:

Text / Markdown items — shows the rich text body with a live preview alongside the Markdown source. A collapsible properties sidebar shows all fields.
Image items — displays the image with a properties panel alongside it.
Video items — plays the video with a properties panel alongside it.

The properties panel shows all schema fields for the item's type, as well as any additional fields that were added outside the schema. Related items are listed at the bottom of the page.

Editing items (editor and owner roles)

If you are an editor or owner of a collection, the properties panel becomes editable. Changes to fields are saved automatically after a short delay — no save button needed.

Editors can also:

Add new properties to an item using the + button in the properties toolbar
Delete items using the trash icon in the properties toolbar (with confirmation)

Schema changes require Studio. Editors in Explorer can add and edit item-level properties, but adding or changing types and schema fields must be done in Studio.

Search

The search bar in Explorer's top navigation searches across all collections you have access to. Results include items that match by name, field values, tags, or body text.

Within a collection, the inline filter searches only that collection and supports filtering by type and tag in addition to text.

Roles

Explorer respects the role assigned to you in Studio for each collection:

Viewer — read-only. All content is visible but nothing can be edited or deleted.
Editor — can add and update items and fields. Cannot change schemas or manage access.
Owner — full access. Same as editor in Explorer — schema and access management are Studio-only operations.

Profile and settings

Click your name or avatar in the top bar to open the profile modal. You can update your display name, email, avatar URL, and password. You can also switch between dark, light, and system themes and set an accent colour.
