What it is
Forge Studio (also called Lenses Studio) is the React UI served at /studio/ on your local Lenses server. It is the default place for new product surfaces (with Classic HTML catching up over time). Blueprints Wizard is a Studio feature under /studio/blueprints/wizard/.
When to use it
Any time you want the newer navigation, Studio-only flows, or the Wizard — after the server from Install and run is up.
Prerequisites
- Lenses running; browser available.
- If
/studio/looks empty, confirm the server is running, try a hard refresh, then follow Studio 101 or Troubleshooting.

Classic vs Studio (task-level)
| Task | Start in… |
|---|---|
| Legacy report or route you already use daily | Classic / |
| Newer flows, Wizard, or Studio-only views | Forge Studio /studio/ |
Steps
- Open
http://127.0.0.1:<port>/studio/(same host/port as Classic). - Use the header and sidebar to move between workspace areas (Flows, projects, knowledge — labels vary by plan and version).
- To try the Wizard, open Blueprints Wizard in the sidebar (experimental label in some builds).
How to verify success
/studio/loads a shell with navigation — not a blank page.- You can reach Wizard from the sidebar when the feature is enabled (see Wizard overview).
