Introducing Sites in Codex

A presenter-led tour puts finished interactive sites near the start, then shows several different output layouts and finally sharing controls. The strongest lesson is demonstrating what was built, not merely showing the request.

Useful to borrow

Show a useful finished artifact early. Scroll a meaningful region, change a visible control, and include a share or access state when it is part of the story.

Do not infer

The example dashboards are output sites, not the standard Codex shell. Their metrics and product-looking controls are demo content, not your product features or business results.

15 shot groups.

Read across from the observed content to its treatment and possible adaptation. Enlarge the frame for detail.

Approximate study intervals; horizontal scrolling reveals all columns on small screens.
