Steps
-
Open
http://127.0.0.1:8080/studio/(adjust host/port if yours differs). -
If you see a blank page or missing assets, treat it as an environment issue: confirm the server started cleanly, then follow Troubleshooting.
-
Use the sidebar to open one primary area (for example Projects or Workspace) and confirm content appears.
How to verify success
/studio/shows chrome and at least one content area without errors.- You can repeat the navigation without reading source files.
