Usage

Session Trail

Puppy automatically records where you go in the control panel and normalizes routes into readable labels:

  • /admin/dashboard → Dashboard
  • /admin/entries/blog → Entries: Blog
  • /admin/entries/blog/123-spring-launch → Spring Launch
  • /admin/assets/images → Assets: Images
  • /admin/globals/footerSettings → Global: Footer Settings

Floating Panel Tabs

The overlay includes three tabs:

  • Trail tab — the last 25 pages visited, with clickable links back
  • Edits tab — elements you saved or created during the session
  • Stats tab — pages visited, items edited, and session duration

Collapse and Drag

Collapse the panel to a small badge showing the paw icon and item count. Drag the panel anywhere on screen. Position and state are remembered across page loads via localStorage.

Pause and Clear

Pause tracking at any time without hiding the panel. Clear the session trail to start fresh.

Pairs well with Puppy

Small changes to the control panel that editors notice on day one. Better filters, a real media library, sidebar fields, watermarks and uploads that don't time out.
