Getting started

What is Gostrax?

Gostrax is an early access workspace for agencies managing Astro client websites. Agencies configure access, collaborate with clients and review content in context.

Who is Gostrax for?

Agencies and independent developers working with Astro websites and clients who need a dedicated place for requests and permitted content updates.

Can I import a WordPress site?

The current import workflow supports Astro repositories. It is not a WordPress migration tool.

How do I get access?

Use the Early Access page to request an invitation. An access request does not guarantee an invitation or a release date.

Projects & source

How do I import an existing site?

Choose New project, then Import from GitHub. Connect the Gostrax GitHub App, authorize the repository and select a branch.

Why is my repository missing?

Check that the GitHub account and the installed GitHub App have access to that repository. Only authorized repositories appear in the import flow.

Does import keep my local editor in sync?

Import does not imply automatic two-way synchronization with your local editor. Check the project workflow before relying on repository changes appearing automatically.

Can the agency edit source directly?

The agency can inspect project files and use expert mode for direct source editing. Review changes and the preview before publication.

Clients & permissions

Does a client need an account?

Yes. Configure access using the email of a verified client account. Client access is distinct from agency team membership.

What can I allow a client to do?

The nine permission groups cover dashboard access, preview, requests, viewing and exporting statistics, media uploads, article drafts, approved page text and publication.

Can clients change the site design?

The documented client workflow focuses on permitted content and approved pages. Design and source work remain agency tools.

What happens if dashboard access is disabled?

Client capabilities depend on dashboard access. Disabling it removes access to the client space and its dependent tools.

Does enabling statistics create real analytics?

No. Permission controls visibility of available information. Sample data is not a measurement of your project traffic.

Content & review

Does a conversation automatically edit the website?

No. Requests, drafts, agency review and publication are separate actions. Sending a message does not publish a website change.

What is the difference between saving and submitting a draft?

Saving retains a draft for further work. Submission sends it for agency review. The agency can approve or reject it with a review note.

Can clients approve their own drafts?

Client publication permission does not grant agency approval rights. Agency review is a separate step.

Which pages can clients edit?

For text drafts, the agency selects approved Astro pages. Text-edit permission needs that approved-page configuration.

Publication & assistance

Does approval make the update live?

No. Approval records review. Publication is separate and requires appropriate access and a configured project workflow.

What does publication need?

Check GitHub and Vercel connections, publication service readiness and the required Astro article template. Consult the publication guide for the supported setup.

Are AI suggestions guaranteed to be correct?

No. Review suggestions, source changes and the preview before applying an update. AI assistance supports the agency’s work and does not replace its review.
