Switching to Wix Studio

When you move to Wix Studio, you'll get access to their new workspace. This is where you can monitor all your sites and projects together. Plus, our advanced Studio Editor will help you create your sites.

You can start using Wix Studio in three ways. You can sign up straight from your account, from the Studio's main page, or join a team already using it.

Note: Your current sites won't automatically move to the Studio Editor once you switch.

Joining via your account

If you're already a Wix user, you'll find several ways to switch to Wix Studio. You can do this from the page where you see all your sites, from the dashboard for any of your sites, your account profile, and even when browsing Wix's template page.

Joining via Wix Studio

To join Wix Studio, simply start from the Wix Studio homepage.

To join via Wix Studio:

Visit wix.com/studio.
Click on "Start creating."
Sign in using your Wix account details.
Select "Try Wix Studio" to move to the new platform.

Joining via a team invitation

You can also join Wix Studio if a team invites you. When you get an email invitation to join a Wix Studio team, click the link to accept it. After you log in, you'll be taken directly to your team's workspace in Wix Studio.
