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:

  • users
  • drafts
  • analytics_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-1
  • drafts/homepage
  • users/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 Collections tab to discover current collection names
  • Treat the editor as a project tool, not a replacement for application-side validation or backend logic
