Use Builder Home and Background Builds

When you are inside the Genie builder, the Home panel helps you manage the current project without losing background build progress.

This is different from the main My Workspace dashboard. Builder Home is focused on the project you are currently building and nearby recent projects.

What Builder Home Is For​

Use Builder Home when:

  • a build is still running and you want to check progress
  • you want to reopen the current app or website project
  • you want to see recent projects while the active build continues
  • you need to cancel a background build
  • recent project history is not loading and support asks for diagnostics

Current Status​

The top of Builder Home shows the current build status.

Common statuses include:

  • Ready: no active background build is running.
  • Building: the project is still being generated or updated.
  • Failed: the build ran into a problem.
  • Canceled: the build was stopped before completion.

The panel also shows the current build step when that information is available.

Current Project​

The Current Project section shows the app or website currently open in the builder.

It can include:

  • project name
  • whether it is a Website or App
  • status badge
  • current build summary
  • last saved state

Available actions may include:

  • Open build while a build is active.
  • Open project when the project is ready.
  • Cancel build when a background build is still running.

Recent Projects​

The Recent Projects section shows up to eight recent workspace projects. Cards can include:

  • project type, such as Website or App
  • project status
  • title
  • summary
  • last updated time
  • Current label when the card is the active project

Select a card to open that project.

If your current build is still active, CloudMySite may prevent switching projects and ask you to open or cancel the current build first. This protects the build that is already running.

History Diagnostics​

If recent projects do not load, Builder Home may show History Diagnostics.

Diagnostics can include:

  • browser storage status
  • whether IndexedDB is available
  • whether the local database opened
  • matching user rows
  • displayable rows
  • app and website row counts
  • remote history row counts
  • remote history refresh status
  • visible project count

Use Copy diagnostics if support asks for troubleshooting details. The same diagnostics may also be available in the browser console as window.__genieHistoryDiagnostics.

When Recent Projects Are Empty​

Recent projects can be empty if:

  • you are not signed in
  • the browser cannot open local history storage
  • the account has no saved projects yet
  • remote history is still syncing
  • entries are hidden because they are incomplete or failed in a way that should not be shown

Try refreshing the page, signing in again, or opening the full History page if you expect projects to be there.

From the builder, you may also use:

  • Preview to view the current app or website.
  • Admin to manage forms, authentication, Stripe, domains, secrets, database, and settings.
  • Publish or Deploy when the project is ready to go live.
