How to create and manage projects

You manage your projects from the Projects page on the website dashboard. (To create one, see How to create a new project.)

Browse your projects

Open Projects from the dashboard sidebar. The list supports:

• Card or table views — switch with the view toggle; your choice is remembered
• Search — filter by project name
• Filters — by Assignment (All / Assigned / Not assigned) and by your Role (Admin / Contributor / Viewer)
• A “Showing X of Y projects” caption, so a filtered list always reconciles with the total count in the sidebar

Projects you belong to your organisation but haven’t been assigned to appear marked Not assigned — you can see them in the list but can’t open them until someone adds you (see Manage project members).

Open a project

• Click a project’s name to open its detail page, or
• Click the Farkitect it! button (the brand icon) to launch the project’s model straight into the modeller in a new tab

The detail page has tabs for Contents (its packages, diagrams, and catalogs), Members (who has access and their roles), and a Danger Zone for admins.

Rename a project

1. On the project’s detail page, click Edit (or use File > Update Project… in the modeller)
2. Change the name and details
3. Save

Delete a project

1. Open the ⋯ menu, on the project’s card or row in the projects list or at the top right of its detail page, and choose Delete project…. This opens the project’s Danger Zone with the confirmation showing. You can also go to the Danger Zone tab and click Delete Project, or use File > Delete Project… in the modeller.
2. Type the project’s name to confirm, then click Delete project.

Safety: Before deletion, Farkitect automatically exports the project as a .farki file, giving you a backup in case the deletion was accidental.

The dialog shows live progress for both stages — Exporting your data…, then Deleting… — with the current step and counts where they’re known. Keep the window open until it finishes.

Notes

• Only project Admins can rename or delete a project.
• Deleting a project removes all its packages, elements, diagrams, and catalogs permanently (after the automatic export).
• The project’s members are not removed from the organisation — they retain access to other projects.
