Is this manual for my site?

Every page in this manual ends with one small line. It looks like this:

Checked against EmDash 1.2.0 and Lookout Ridge IT template 0.64.0 on October 19, 2026.

It says what we checked the manual against, and when. Your own website shows both numbers too. This page shows you where to look.

The two numbers

Your website is built from two parts. Each part has its own number, and two different teams make them.

EmDash is the system your website runs on. The EmDash project builds it. That is the first number.

The Lookout Ridge IT template is the design and the features we built on top of it. We build that one. That is the second number.

The two move at their own pace. One can go up while the other stays put.

Find your EmDash number

This one is in your admin panel.

1. Sign in to your admin panel.
2. Look at the bottom left corner of the screen, at the foot of the menu.
3. Read the number after Lookout Ridge IT.

The Dashboard in the admin panel. Number 4 is the EmDash version, down in the bottom left corner.

The line reads something like Lookout Ridge IT v1.2.0 (b5f37c646). The part you want is 1.2.0. The short code after it is for us, and you can skip it. The end of the line may be cut off with three dots. That is fine, as long as you can read the number.

The admin panel walks through the rest of this screen.

Find your template number

This one is on your public website, not in the panel.

1. Open your website. Click View Site in the panel, or type your address in your browser.
2. Scroll all the way to the bottom of the page.
3. Find the line that starts with Powered by. The number sits right after our name, such as v0.64.0. Every style puts this line at the very bottom.

The bottom of a website. The template version sits right after our name. Your own number will be different.

When a number on your site is higher

Your website is newer than this manual. Nothing is wrong, and you have nothing to fix.

Keep reading. The steps still work. A picture here may not match your screen, and a button may have a new name. The job is the same one.

Then tell us, and we will bring the manual up to date.

When a number on your site is lower

Your website has not had that update yet. Nothing is wrong, and there is nothing for you to do.
