## A — F

<details>

<summary><strong>API key</strong></summary>

A secret token that authenticates requests to the platform's API. Keys are scoped to a workspace and inherit the permissions of whoever created them. See [Permissions](/sunwin88decom-docs/documentation/core-concepts/permissions.md).

</details>

<details>

<summary><strong>Automation</strong></summary>

A piece of code that runs in response to a trigger — for example, a deploy completing or a comment being posted. See [Automations](/sunwin88decom-docs/documentation/guides/automations.md).

</details>

<details>

<summary><strong>Build</strong></summary>

The process of turning your source code into deployable output. Each build produces an artefact, which is then promoted to a deploy.

</details>

<details>

<summary><strong>Custom domain</strong></summary>

Your own domain (like `docs.yourcompany.com`) attached to a project, in place of the auto-generated subdomain. See [Custom domains](/sunwin88decom-docs/documentation/guides/custom-domains.md).

</details>

<details>

<summary><strong>Deploy</strong></summary>

A live version of your project, served from a URL. Each successful build can be promoted to a deploy. The current production deploy is the one served at your primary URL.

</details>

<details>

<summary><strong>Environment</strong></summary>

The set of variables, secrets, and configuration that applies when your project runs. Most projects have at least two environments: production and preview.

</details>

<details>

<summary><strong>Guest</strong></summary>

A workspace role that can view published deploys but nothing else. Guests don't count towards your member limit. See [Permissions](/sunwin88decom-docs/documentation/core-concepts/permissions.md).

</details>

<details>

<summary><strong>Member</strong></summary>

Anyone with access to a workspace. Each member has a role that determines what they can do. Different from a guest, which is a special role that doesn't count towards your member limit.

</details>

<details>

<summary><strong>Preview deploy</strong></summary>

A deploy created automatically for a branch or pull request, served at a unique URL. Used to test changes before they reach production.

</details>

<details>

<summary><strong>Project</strong></summary>

A deployable unit. Each project has its own source, builds, deploys, environment, and domains. Projects are isolated from each other within a workspace. See [Workspaces and projects](/sunwin88decom-docs/documentation/core-concepts/workspaces-and-projects.md).

</details>
