What are Projects?
Projects are essentially a file system that allows you to save, manage, and revisit your content... well, projects. Simply swap a piece of media out, update text, or work ahead for content to be released later in the day. They are designed to make Slate your go-to tool for repeating creative tasks and make managing your content creation workflows easier than ever.
All users of Slate can benefit from using projects. Whether you're a Brand Manager or a Creator, projects will give you the flexibility to save, duplicate, recall and edit your files effortlessly.
Benefits of Using Projects
- Work-in-Progress Saving: Never lose your ongoing work
- Versioning System: Experiment with different edits and variations, all while keeping the original project intact
Starting a New Project
- From the Brand Hub, click 'Create Content' and select 'New Project'
- Navigate to the area at the top of the canvas to name your Project
NOTE: Your content automatically saves after each change you make so no need to worry about losing any progress.
Accessing all Projects
You can access all of your projects from either:
- The Brand Hub by Selecting 'Create Content' and selecting 'All Projects'
- Within your working project, navigate to where you name your project. Tap on the dropdown arrow and select 'All Projects'
Managing your Projects
You can rename, duplicate and delete your projects in the 'All Projects' window. Hover over any draft, tap the three dots at the top right of the preview to:
- Delete a Project
- Duplicate a Project
- Rename a Project
TIP: If you're creating a piece of content for different dimensions, duplicate your original project, change the aspect ratio and re-organize the content to fit the new size!
