# Channels

The **Channels** page is where you manage the distinct storefront channels for your workspace—each channel represents a language- or region-specific entry point to your site. From here, you can review existing channels, create new ones, and perform channel-specific actions like editing settings, deleting channels, or configuring redirects and themes.
