Appearance

Project Settings ​

To access your project's settings, click the cog icon (Project Settings) on the left side of the top menu. The cog icon is available to users who can edit the project (owners and editors).

Arcweave's project environment, with an orange arrow pointing at the cog icon, in the top menu.

The Project Settings menu provides the following two sections:

Configurable settings ​

Configure these settings to affect how you work inside the editor.

Show grid ​

Toggles a background grid in the workspace to help visually align elements.

Snap to grid ​

Toggles board item snapping to the nearest grid line, for precise placement and alignment.

✅ Snap to grid functions independently from Show grid: snapping can remain active even if the grid itself is hidden.

Spell checking ​

Activates your browser's built-in spell checker within Arcweave, helping you identify and correct typos as you type.

ℹ️ To use this feature, ensure spell checking is also enabled in your browser's settings.

Input device ​

Select your input device:

  • Auto: Automatically detects mouse-only and trackpad-only gestures, adjusting the functionality accordingly. The menu shows the currently detected device.
  • Mouse: Optimizes for mouse input.
  • Trackpad: Optimizes for trackpad gestures.

✅ If you need to scroll within a tall element, switch to Trackpad mode and scroll using your mouse wheel or trackpad gesture.

Board renderer ​

Choose which renderer Arcweave uses for boards:

  • WebGL
  • WebGPU

If board panning, zooming, selection, or connection editing feels slow on your current browser or device, try switching to the other renderer.

ℹ️ Refresh the page after changing the board renderer, so the new setting can take effect.

ℹ️ Arcweave stores this preference in your current browser.

ℹ️ For Chrome-specific performance checks, see Troubleshooting.

AI settings ​

Use AI Settings... to define the visual direction for all AI-generated images in the project. This option appears when the workspace's plan includes AI features and AI is enabled for the workspace.

The AI Settings panel includes two optional ways to guide generated images:

  • Image Generation Guidelines: Enter up to 1,000 characters of instructions describing the desired style, tone, medium, or visual characteristics you want Arcweave to apply to generated images across the project.
  • Attached Style References: Drag image assets from the Assets sidebar into this list to use them as visual references. Arcweave uses them to guide palette, mood, lighting, texture, and rendering style.

ℹ️ Attached style references act as style guides by default. They are not reproduced literally unless your prompt explicitly asks for the details shown in them.

ℹ️ If you add attached style references, you can mention one by name in your prompt to guide the result more precisely.

Properties ​

Select Properties to open the Project properties dialog. It gives access to the following key project information used for integration, sharing, and project management.

Project hash ​

Arcweave's project environment, with the Project properties panel open and an orange rectangle emphasizing the project hash.

What is the project hash? ​

The project hash is the unique identifier of a project.

You need a project's hash in the following cases:

  • When integrating with another platform through Arcweave's REST API.
  • When embedding the project's Play Mode in a webpage.

Copy the project hash ​

To access and copy the project hash:

  1. Click the Settings icon (the cog) on the left side of the top menu.
  2. Select Properties.
  3. Locate the Project hash and click the clipboard icon.

Your project's hash is now copied to your system's clipboard.

Project item count ​

Shows the total number of each item type within your project:

  • Boards
  • Jumpers
  • Notes
  • Assets
  • Elements
  • Branches
  • Components
  • Comments

Total words ​

Calculates the total number of words across all boards, using element titles, element content, and connection labels. Arcscript blocks are not counted. In localized projects, this count uses the current language.

Total characters ​

Calculates the total number of characters across all boards, using element titles, element content, and connection labels. Arcscript blocks are not counted. In localized projects, this count uses the current language.

Project storage limit ​

Displays the total storage capacity available for your project and the current usage.
