Works hub

The works hub is where all your projects live. A project is a mixed container of parts, so the hub is built to browse, filter, and organize hundreds of them at scale. Actions on a project act across all of its parts. See Projects and parts.

Quick overview

  1. Open the works hub from the sidebar.
  2. Pick a view that suits the task, from grid to a tag matrix.
  3. Filter, search, or open a smart view to narrow the list.
  4. Select one or several projects to act on them.
  5. Open a project to edit it, or open its detail drawer to see its parts.

Views

A view switcher (top right) changes how projects are laid out. Folders, the breadcrumb, and the type strip only appear in Grid view; switch views while inside a folder and you still see that folder's contents, just without the folder tiles.

ViewWhat it showsBest for
GridProject cards, with folder tiles and a type strip above themBrowsing by thumbnail
ListA compact row per project: name, type, platform, last update, downloads (click a row to open it)Scanning many at once
OutlineProjects grouped with the siblings that share a parent scene or slide deck, with ungrouped ones under a single headingSeeing structure
TimeProjects bucketed into Today, This week, This month, and Older, by last editRecent work
MatrixOne row per tag plus an untagged row, one column per part type present, with row and column totalsCoverage at a glance

A type strip along the top shows a count for each part type and filters the grid to that type when you click it (Grid view only).

Outline groups by parent, so most projects land together

Outline builds its groups from the parent scene or slide deck a project belongs to. Projects that don't carry such a parent all appear under one "single designs" heading, so if Outline looks like a single flat list, that's because those projects aren't nested under a shared parent.

Finding projects

Search filters the current view as you type, matching a project's name, the parent scene or deck it belongs to, and its tag names. The hub has its own search box in the toolbar; if that is empty it falls back to the global top-bar search, so either one narrows the list.

The Filter popover groups several kinds of narrowing in one panel:

FilterOptionsNotes
SortLast update, Created, Name (A to Z), Downloads (most first)Pinned projects always float to the top regardless of sort
Date rangeAny two datesFilters by creation date, inclusive of the end date
Card sizeSmall, medium, largeGrid view only; changes how many cards fit per row
TagsAny of your tagsMulti-select; a project matches if it has any checked tag
StatusDraft, In review, Approved, Needs revision, DeliveredMulti-select
BrandAny brand kitMulti-select; hidden while viewing a single brand's works

The Filter button shows a count badge whenever anything besides the default sort is active (it counts tags, status, brand, a non-default sort, and a date range), and a "Clear filters" button inside the popover resets those. A separate clear-all link above the grid resets favorites-only, tags, status, brand, smart views, search, and the date range in one click. Filters combine with AND across categories, so stacking a tag, a status, and a date range narrows hard, and can legitimately show nothing.

  • Favorites: mark a project as a favorite from its card to keep it close, and filter to favorites only.
  • Smart views: two built-in views sit alongside your folders at the top level of Grid view: Recent (updated in the last 7 days) and Never downloaded (zero downloads so far). They update themselves; you don't file anything into them.

Project cards

Each card carries the project's type and status as badges, and can be pinned to keep it at the top of every sort. Hover for about half a second and a zoomed preview pops up showing the thumbnail, the relative update time, the download count, its parent (if any), and its tags.

A per-card menu (the "..." button, or right-click anywhere on the card) holds every action:

Card actionResult
Open / Open in new tabOpens the project in the editor
DetailsOpens the detail drawer
SelectToggles the card into the current selection
FavoriteAdds or removes it from favorites
PinKeeps it pinned to the top of the list
TagAdd or remove any of your tags
StatusSet or clear its workflow status
Assign to brandAttach or remove a brand kit
RenameRename the project
DuplicatePrompts for a name, suggesting "<name> copy" by default; the copy lands in the same folder as the original
Move to folderMove it into any folder, or out to unfiled
Copy share linkCopies a direct editor link to your clipboard
DeleteSend it to the trash

Working with many at once

Select several projects with a marquee drag (drag more than about 5 pixels over empty grid space or unselected cards), extend a selection with Shift-click, or toggle one at a time with the checkbox that appears on hover. Starting a drag from an already-selected card moves the selection instead of drawing a marquee.

A floating bulk action bar appears at the bottom center once anything is selected, leading with a "N selected" count:

Bulk actionResult
Move to folderMove every selected project into one folder, or out to unfiled
FavoriteAdds all selected to favorites; this is one-way, it will not unfavorite an already-favorited item
DuplicateCopies every selected project into the same folder as each original, automatically named "<name> (copy)" with no prompt
Rename by patternPrompts for a pattern such as design-{n}, where {n} becomes each item's position in the selection
DeleteSends every selected project to the trash

You can also drag a selection straight onto the trash zone that appears while dragging, or press Delete. A "Clear" button on the bar drops the selection.

The detail drawer

Open a project's detail drawer (the card's Details action, or Space on a focused card) to see it broken into its parts: how many pages, how many frames across its scenes, how many slides in its decks, how many videos, and how many boards. The drawer also lists the project's saved versions, which you can restore. See Project details and trash.

Trash

The toolbar's trash icon opens the works trash: soft-deleted projects with per-item restore and permanent-delete, bulk restore and bulk purge, an "Empty" action, and a countdown showing how many days remain before each item auto-purges. Retention is set in Settings > Storage; when it is off, items sit in the trash until you remove them by hand. See Project details and trash.

States

StateWhat you see
LoadingA skeleton grid or list
EmptyA prompt to create your first project
No matchesA distinct message when filters exclude everything, telling you to change the filter, clear the search, or step into a folder
At scaleCards render in batches of 80; scrolling within about 800 pixels of the bottom loads the next batch, so libraries with thousands of projects stay smooth

Keyboard shortcuts

These act on the grid, so click into the grid area first (Grid view and the smart views use it):

ShortcutAction
Ctrl / Cmd + ASelect every project in the current filtered view
Shift + clickExtend the selection from the last card you clicked
Arrow keysMove focus across the grid
EnterOpen the focused card in the editor
SpaceOpen the focused card's detail drawer
Delete / BackspaceSend the selection (or the focused card) to the trash
EscClear the selection

Step by step

Find every project you touched last week and collect them in a folder

  1. Switch to Grid view (top right) so the smart views and bulk tools are available.
  2. At the top level, click the Recent smart view (updated in the last 7 days), which is exactly "touched last week."
  3. Click into the grid, then press Ctrl / Cmd + A to select every project the view shows.
  4. In the bulk bar at the bottom, click Move to folder and pick a folder (create one first from the folder tiles if you need to). To archive them out of the way instead, use Delete to send the batch to the trash.

Move a batch of projects into a folder by hand

  1. In Grid view, marquee-drag across empty space to rubber-band a group, or Shift-click to extend from one card to another.
  2. When the bulk bar shows your count, click Move to folder and choose the destination, or Klasörden çıkar (remove from folder) to send them to unfiled.
  3. Alternatively, drag the selection straight onto a folder tile or a breadcrumb crumb to drop it there.

Rename a set of projects consistently

  1. Select the projects you want to renumber.
  2. On the bulk bar, click Rename by pattern and enter something like campaign-{n}.
  3. {n} is replaced by each item's position in the selection (1, 2, 3, and so on), not its position on screen, so check the order matters before you confirm.

Restore a project you deleted by mistake

  1. Click the trash icon in the toolbar to open the works trash.
  2. Find the project (it stays there until its retention countdown runs out) and click Restore on it, or select several and use Restore in the header for a batch.
  3. It returns to your library. To free space instead, use Empty or per-item permanent delete, which cannot be undone.

Read a project's structure without opening the editor

  1. Focus a card in Grid view and press Space (or use the card menu's Details).
  2. The detail drawer lists the project's parts: pages, frames across its scenes, slides in its decks, videos, and boards.
  3. Scroll to its saved versions in the same drawer to restore an earlier state. See Project details and trash.

Common tasks

  • See only recent work: open the Recent smart view, or switch to Time view.
  • Find never-downloaded projects: open the Never downloaded smart view.
  • Keep a project on top: use Pin from its card menu; pinned cards float above any sort.
  • Filter by tag, status, and brand together: open the Filter popover and check as many as you need (they narrow with AND).
  • Reset everything at once: click the clear-all link above the grid.
  • Copy a direct link to a project: use Copy share link from its card menu.
  • Duplicate one project with a custom name: use Duplicate from the card menu (it prompts); use the bulk bar's Duplicate for a no-prompt copy of many.
  • Step into a folder: click its tile in Grid view; use the breadcrumb to climb back out.
  • Fit more or fewer cards per row: set Card size (Small, Medium, Large) in the Filter popover.

Troubleshooting

  • A filter combination shows nothing. Filters combine with AND, so a tag plus a status plus a date range can exclude everything. The "no matches" screen tells you to change the filter or clear the search; use the clear-all link above the grid to reset in one click.
  • My folders disappeared when I changed views. Folder tiles, the breadcrumb, and the type strip are Grid-only. Other views still show the same folder's contents, just without the tiles; switch back to Grid to see and manage folders.
  • Sort looks wrong because some cards stay on top. Pinned projects always float above the sort. Unpin them (card menu) to let the sort order take over.
  • Bulk Favorite did not remove favorites. Bulk Favorite is one-way by design: it only adds. Remove favorites from individual card menus.
  • Rename by pattern numbered things in an unexpected order. The pattern uses selection order, which is not always the on-screen order. Re-select in the order you want, or verify the result.
  • Keyboard shortcuts do nothing. They are wired to the grid, so they only work in Grid view (and the smart views), and only after you click into the grid area. List, Outline, Time, and Matrix don't respond to them.
  • Deleting felt permanent. Delete and the Delete action are soft: projects go to the trash and can be restored until the retention countdown purges them. Permanent deletion only happens from the trash.
  • Outline shows one flat group. Outline groups by a shared parent scene or deck; projects without that parent all land under the single "single designs" heading, so a flat-looking Outline is expected when nothing is nested.
  • The Filter badge count looks low. The badge counts tags, status, brand, a non-default sort, and a date range only. Favorites-only, smart views, and search are not in that count; use the clear-all link above the grid to reset those as well.
  • A marquee drag moved cards instead of selecting them. Starting the drag on an already-selected card moves the selection. Begin the drag on empty grid space (or an unselected card) to rubber-band a new selection instead.

Tips

Folders for place, tags for topic

Use folders for where a project lives, and tags for what it is about. Together they make anything easy to find.

Rename by pattern keeps a batch consistent

When you rename several projects at once, the pattern applies in selection order, which is not always the order the cards appear on screen. Check the result if the exact order matters.
