The Three-Dot Menu
While settings for your current website are accessed via the menu in the left sidebar, there are several general Publii app options that can be accessed via the three-dot menu, located at the top-right of the app window. If you're editing a post or page, return to the list to access this menu.
The three-dot icon may appear as a bell with a badge when there are notifications or a prompt to enable them. Clicking either icon opens the same application menu with the following options:
- App settings - Clicking on this item will take you to the App settings screen, where you can modify general elements of Publii such as storage locations, default behaviour and load-on-start options.
- Themes - Displays the themes currently available in your Publii installation and allows you to remove them by clicking on the trash icon. Removing a theme from this library keeps any copies already installed on your websites. You will also see a Get more themes link, which takes you to the Publii Marketplace, where you can purchase premium themes or download additional free themes.
- Plugins - Displays the plugins currently available in your Publii installation. These can be removed by clicking on the trash icon next to the name. Removing a plugin makes it unavailable to your websites. Clicking on Get more plugins takes you to the plugins section of the Publii Marketplace, where you can browse and download additional plugins.
- Languages - In this section you can see and set the language used in the Publii app by clicking on the relevant language card. Publii comes with English, Polish and German translations as standard. Clicking on Get more languages opens the GitHub repository containing community translations that you can download and add to the app using Install language.
- Notifications - Opens the notifications centre, where you can check for Publii, theme and plugin updates, read news and view notices about discontinued themes or plugins. If notifications are disabled, you can enable them here. Once enabled, use Check for updates to check for new notifications.
- Help - Clicking this option opens the Publii documentation in your browser, where you can find information on the app's features and how to use them.
- Report an issue - If you've encountered a bug or need assistance with using Publii that is not covered in the documentation, click this option to open Publii's GitHub Discussions, where you can report issues, ask questions and suggest improvements.
- GitHub repository - Opens Publii's GitHub repository in your browser, where you can explore the source code, contribute to development or check what features are being worked on.
- Donate - Happy with Publii's features and want to contribute to its ongoing development (or just buy the dev team a coffee)? Click this option to open the Publii Donate page, where you can find ways to support the project.
- About Publii - Opens a screen showing your current Publii version and build number, along with information about the software that powers Publii and links to credits and licensing details.
