# Database Change Mode

Bytebase supports two database change modes. In the UI, this setting appears as the **Default landing page**:

* **Workspace**. Use issues to request, review, roll out, and version database changes. Suitable for teams with access control and a CI/CD workflow.
* **SQL Editor**. Use SQL Editor to execute database changes directly. Suitable for single-person use or environments that do not require supervision. You may also choose this mode if you want to [embed SQL Editor into your own app](/tutorials/embed-sql-editor/).

## Configuration

The first registered user is prompted to choose the mode during the setup wizard. Afterwards, the **Workspace Admin** can change it under **Settings** > **General**.
