🌟Projects

Projects are the living and breathing heart of Fortelling. The place where your creativity can truly thrive and convert into a wonderful project.

This guide has already been updated for our upcoming 4.0 release. Learn more here.

On this page, you will learn how to navigate your project overview to quickly create a new project from scratch or find all your archived projects. Also, we will show you how you can adjust your project settings to your personal needs. If you want to know more about collaboration projects, like how to set them up or join them, you can find more information in the collaboration section of this wiki.

"Ideas are like rabbits. You get a couple and learn how to handle them, and pretty soon you have a dozen."

~ John Steinbeck

Project overview

Your homepage is the main page of Fortelling, where all your projects are stored. Projects display their banner, title, and description on the homepage.

We'd also love to bring the demo project to your attention. You can recognize it with the compass icon. It contains the long-forgotten story of the lands of Fortellia, where the great library houses every told and yet to be told story.

Create a new project

Tap the big yellow plus button to create a new project. A pop-up will ask for the name of the project and the description. After filling out this form, you can press the 'create project' button. The new project will open automatically.

Archived projects

Projects you've archived will be moved to the archive folder. You can archive a project from the project settings. Your archived projects will never be deleted.

Project folders

You can order your projects in folders. Create a folder using the create folder button located next to the yellow plus button. You can not place or create folders inside folders. There is a maximum depth of 1.

Long-press/click on a project and drag the pop-up into a folder. Once you hover over a folder, release to move the project into the new folder.

Collaboration project

Have you been invited to a collaboration project? Copy the code you received from the admin. Tap the button with a plus sign and a person. A pop-up will open in which you can enter the collaboration code you received from the other author. Once you've sent a join request to the project, the admin of the other project needs to accept you. Learn more about collaboration here.
