  <Step title="Select a script type">
    Provide a name for your script and select a script type:

    <Tabs>
      <Tab title="Standalone">

        Standalone scripts handle HTTP requests directly at the edge, without an origin server behind them. Use them for REST APIs, UI applications, and data processing.

      </Tab>

      <Tab title="Middleware">
        Select **Middleware** type and then **Default middleware** template.

        Middleware scripts intercept and modify requests and responses as they flow through the CDN. Use them for authentication, header manipulation, and content transformation.

    </Tabs>

    Click **Add script**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Explore the script editor">
    A pull zone is created for your script, so it is reachable from the outside through a unique URL. The script starts with a placeholder function that returns "Hello from" when you open that URL.

    The bottom left panel is a preview pane where you can enter a URL and run the script currently open in the editor. Running it here doesn't change the deployed script, so you can test your code before publishing it.

    On the bottom right, the dashboard includes a logs pane. This pane captures and displays output from any `console.log` calls made by the script when it is run in the preview pane.

    Use it to trace what the script did on the last run and to confirm it behaved the way you expected.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Edit and test your script">
    Replace the placeholder with your own code, then open the script URL to check
    that your changes work.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save and publish">
    When you are happy with your script, click **Save** and **Publish**.
