Concepts
VoodBuilder is easier to learn when three ideas stay separate: where work happens, which edition you bought, and how the canvas stores content.
Where work happens

| Layer | Job |
|---|---|
| Admin | Structure the site — pages, menus, layouts, Theme Studio, companion resources |
| Editor | Compose and style content; Content / Style / Dynamic sidebars |
| Public | Serve published pages with chrome, SEO, access, and runtime companions |

Which edition you bought

| Edition | Unlocks |
|---|---|
| Community | Core site platform + Vmedia + Vcookiebar (free) |
| Developer | Elements · Dynamic Data · Templates |
| Agency | Everything in Developer · Components · Dynamic API · Popups |
Same editor across all three. Editions change companion entitlement, not a different product.

Stack note
Runtime stack and the single mention of the canvas library live under Foundations.
