Projects
An Arcweave project is a self-contained unit that holds the structure, content, and assets of an interactive story. It allows you to design, test, share, and export your work. Projects include project items such as boards, elements, and components, and support both collaboration and external integration.
The Projects section of your workspace displays all your available projects in a visual, organized list.
ℹ️ Guests and members with restricted permissions will only see the projects they have access to.
Project list
All the workspace projects are shown as thumbnails in a grid. You can access project-specific options through the menu on each thumbnail.
