Browse and Edit Firestore Data
How to use the Firestore collection browser and document editor in Flash Launch.
1 min readAudience: Builders working directly with project data in the dashboardUpdated 2026-04-11
The Firestore console in Flash Launch is designed for project-relative document work.
Collections tab
The Collections tab lists the immediate collections under your project namespace root.
If your project root is:
project_data/my-app
then the UI will show collections such as:
usersdraftsanalytics_events
Use this tab when you want a quick view of what kinds of data currently exist for the project.
Document Editor tab
The Document Editor works with project-relative document paths.
Examples:
users/user-1drafts/homepageusers/user-1/posts/post-7
The platform stores these under the shared namespace root automatically.
Available actions
You can:
- load an existing document
- save a full JSON document
- patch fields into an existing document
- delete a document
This is intentionally a safe JSON editor, not a Firestore admin console replica.
Tips
- Keep document paths in collection/document pairs
- Use the
Collectionstab to discover current collection names - Treat the editor as a project tool, not a replacement for application-side validation or backend logic
