+## Switching Sites in the Control Panel
+
+When switching between sites in the dropdown, whether or not you need to login between sites depends on several factors. The sites must be using the same control panel session type. If using cookies, the cookies need to have the same settings and the control panel url must have the same domain. The site URLs can have different domains, the `admin.php` files may have different domains for the control panel, but the control panel URL in the site settings must be on the same domain.  A site will only show in the dropdown if the user has permission to access the control panel for that site.
