Workspace

The Workspace appears in the left-hand pane in the authoring interface. In this area you can access and manage your XOT and Bootstrap projects. You can set up a folder structure, create new projects in specific folders, move projects from one folder to another, and delete projects and folders.

The Project Settings wiki page provides an explanation of the toolbar of orange icons at the top of the page.

To maximise your view of the Workspace, collapse the bottom pane in the authoring interface by clicking on the icon in the bottom-right corner of the window.

To add a new folder at the top level, highlight Workspace, click on the New Folder icon, and give the folder a name (note that you can only use letters and numbers in folder or project names).

If you want to add a new folder a lower level, highlight the folder in which you want to place the new folder, before clicking on the New Folder icon.

Give your project a name. The project will open in the editor and you can then start working on it. You may have to refresh the page, before the new project appears in the Workspace.
