The Sites Dashboard is the centralized interface for managing your sites and controlling platform-level access. The Sites Dashboard focuses on site-level operations that impact entire sites, rather than content within sites.

*   **Sites Dashboard**: Focuses on global site operations. For example, creating sites, managing domains, and controlling access.
*   **Individual site**: Focuses on operations related to content and structure in a particular site. For example, creating pages, managing media, and configuring site features.

Site administrators typically work in both. They use the Sites Dashboard for site-level operations and the individual site interface for content and design.
