What is builder bar?

The builder bar is your main navigation for building an application. Its icons give you access to every module and tool you need — from designing pages to managing data — and it stays visible no matter which module you're in, so you can switch between areas as you build.

You can also open the Block Store and reach extra tooling straight from the bar, adding functionality to your application as you go.

Each button is described below. For a deeper look at how to work in each module, see its dedicated article section.

You can use the Play button to preview your application. As you build pages, you can preview the design to ensure the structure and organization reflect your requirements.

	Modules. Groups of pages you can generate and add with Genius AI.  Note: Modules will be phased out in a future release
	App Blueprint. A visual overview of your application's structure, showing how models, pages, and actions connect.
	Dashboard. The starting point of your application, where you can reach tutorials and documentation.
	Pages. Build and manage the individual pages of your application.
	Models. Create and manage the models that store your application's data.
	Actions. Build the workflows behind your application — for example, an automated order confirmation email.
	Block Store provides access to the catalog of predefined blocks that you can incorporate within your application.
	Tools. Reach additional tooling, such as translation support. Any additional tiles you've hidden from the builder bar also live here.
	Account. Manage your account settings and open the My Betty Blocks dashboard, where you handle settings such as mail configuration.

Beyond the defaults, you can add more tools to the bar yourself (see Customizing your builder bar below). The tiles available to add include:

• Theme builder — design the look and feel of your application.
• Logs — review activity and troubleshoot your application.
• Roles and permissions — manage who can access what.
• Configurations — manage application configuration settings.
• Public files — manage files served publicly by your application.
• Authentication profiles — set up how users sign in.
• Translations — add and manage translations for your application.
• Application settings — manage core settings such as mail configuration.

Customize your builder bar

You can tailor the builder bar to fit the way you work:

• Pin the tiles you use most for quick access.
• Remove tiles you rarely open to keep the bar clean.
• Reorder tiles to match your workflow.

Add a tile

To add a tile, select the + button on the bar and choose Add to bar. This opens a menu of the pages and tools you can add.

Remove a tile

To remove a tile, right-click it on the builder bar and choose Remove from builder bar.

Your customizations are saved per application, per user. Your setup won't affect anyone else on the team, and you can keep a different configuration for each application you work in.

Nothing is ever removed permanently. Hidden tiles stay available under the Tools button.

Reorder tiles

To change the order of tiles within the builder bar, drag them with your mouse. 

To reset your customizations, clear your browser's local storage for the application.
