# Overview

> How workspaces, projects, and environments fit together in Gateways, plus theming and URL conventions.

This page is a compact reference for **scope** and **routes**. For the full product narrative, start with **[Platform](/)**.

Gateways runs at **[console.gateways.app](https://console.gateways.app)**. Sign in at **[console.gateways.app/login](https://console.gateways.app/login)**.

## Scope: workspace → project → environment

| Level           | Purpose                                                                                                                                                                 |
| --------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Workspace**   | Team boundary: membership, invitations, billing context, and how cloud accounts are attached at the org level.                                                          |
| **Project**     | A system or application you model; may link a **cloud provider account** used to create resources.                                                                      |
| **Environment** | A partition within a project (for example staging vs production). The **canvas** loads **resources and connections** for the selected project **and** environment only. |

Changing **workspace** reloads projects and clears the previous project and environment. Changing **project** or **environment** reloads data and updates the URL.

## Theming

Sign-in and registration screens use a **fixed dark** theme. After authentication, the console uses **system**, **light**, or **dark** (stored in the browser).

## URL reference

Paths are relative to your console origin (for example `https://console.gateways.app`). Segments use **project** and **environment** **slugs**.

| Path                                        | Behavior                                            |
| ------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------- |
| `/`                                         | Dashboard; project/environment selection or canvas. |
| `/{project}/{environment}`                  | Architecture canvas.                                |
| `/{project}/{environment}/activity`         | Activity.                                           |
| `/{project}/{environment}/settings`         | Project and environment settings.                   |
| `/{project}/{environment}/account-settings` | Account UI with project context.                    |
| `/projects/new`                             | New project (requires a selected workspace).        |
| `/account-settings` and subpaths            | Global account and workspace admin.                 |

Private or custom hostnames use the same path pattern.

## Command-line interface

To work from a terminal—init a folder, sign in, push code, and SSH to instances—use the **[Gateways CLI](/gateways/cli)**.
