This backend automatically stores and manages data when you add features like user logins, forms, or dynamic content. The “Data” section is where you can view and manage that information.<\/p>
Previously, building data-driven features required connecting third-party services (for example, a database or authentication provider). With Horizons’ integrated backend, everything is handled within a single platform. You describe what you need, and Horizons sets it up automatically.<\/p>
This feature may be gradually available as it continues rolling out. Currently, it’s free while in beta.<\/p>
With project data, you can:<\/p>
- \n
- \n
Manage user accounts and logins<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n
- \n
Review and edit form submissions<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n
- \n
Store and update dynamic content<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n
- \n
Support automated emails and authentication flows<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>
Accessing your project data<\/b><\/h2>
- \n
- Open your project<\/span><\/li>\n
- Click the <\/span>Data<\/b> toggle at the top of the preview screen. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>
![\"Data](\"https:\/\/www.hostinger.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/55\/2026\/01\/2026-01-20_11-00.png\")
<\/p>If the Data toggle is disabled, it means your project doesn’t yet include any features that require data storage: such as user authentication, form submissions, or content collections. Once you add a feature that stores data, the Data section becomes available automatically.<\/div>You’ll see 2 data environments available:<\/span><\/p>
Test data<\/b><\/h3>
Use <\/span>Test data<\/b> to safely experiment. Any actions you take in preview mode (for example, submitting a contact form) will appear here. It’s ideal for testing new features without affecting your live website.<\/span><\/p>
Live data<\/b><\/h3>
Use <\/span>Live data<\/b> to view real information collected from your published site: customer signups, form submissions, blog entries, or anything else visitors have created.<\/span><\/p>

<\/p>Browsing and editing data<\/b><\/h2>
Collections are groups of related data automatically created by Horizons when your project needs them. For example: users, form responses, blog posts, or custom content. Each collection contains individual records.<\/p>
On the left panel when ‘Data’ is toggled , you’ll find your <\/span>Collections: <\/b>groups of records such as <\/span>contacts<\/span>, <\/span>posts<\/span>, or <\/span>users<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>
- \n
- Click any collection to view its records on the right side.<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/li>\n- Use filters to quickly find specific entries.<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/li>\n- Click <\/span>Add record<\/b> to manually create new data in any collection.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Click on relevant data record to make changes.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Click on ⋮ after clicking on relevant record to see an option to delete data record.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>

<\/p>Making structural changes<\/b><\/h2>
Horizons handles the underlying database structure, security, and updates automatically. You don’t need to manage migrations, connections, or schemas manually, and changes won’t affect your live site unless published.<\/p>
To modify your data model (for example, add collections or fields), describe the change you want in the Horizons prompt. E.g., “Add a new collection for support tickets with fields: title, email, status.” Horizons will apply the update automatically behind the scenes.<\/p>
