# Switch between CMS and Assets

Every site workspace has two sections: **CMS** for collection items, and **Assets** for the Webflow asset library. Use the switcher at the top of the left sidebar to move between them.

## Switch sections

#### Open a site

From [Your Webflow sites](/your-webflow-sites), click a site card. The workspace opens in **CMS** by default.

#### Click Assets or CMS

At the top of the sidebar, click **Assets** to open the asset library, or **CMS** to return to collections.

## What changes when you switch

| Section    | Sidebar                              | Main panel                              |
| ---------- | ------------------------------------ | --------------------------------------- |
| **CMS**    | Collections list and locale switcher | Items table for the selected collection |
| **Assets** | Folder tree                          | Asset grid for the selected folder      |

Switching does not close your place in CMS — when you return to **CMS**, your collection and items view are still there.

On a phone, open the sidebar with the toggle button, then tap **CMS** or **Assets**. See [Use Wicked CMS on your phone](/wicked-cms-on-mobile).

## Next steps

#### [Manage assets](/manage-assets)

Browse folders, upload files, and edit asset details.

#### [Browse collections](/browse-collections)

Find and select CMS collections in the sidebar.
