Studio Project Tabs

To open a Studio Project that you have previously attended, open the Studio panel, click Projects, and double-click it. To attend a Studio Project for the first time, see Joining a Studio Project. Multiple Projects can be open at the same time.

You can filter your list of Projects to find the one you want to open. Click Filter on the Studio panel toolbar and select a filtering method.

Projects open in a tab in the main workspace, beside any PDFs and WebTabs that are also open. Project tabs present tools specific to interacting with Project documents and managing Project settings. When the Project is one you are hosting, there are a few additional management tools available.

Project tabs are divided into two parts with a folder tree view to the left and a thumbnail view to the right. You can navigate to desired Project files from either. PDFs that have been cached to your local device will show a thumbnail preview of the document in the thumbnail view area, otherwise a generic PDF icon will be shown. for more information about working with the files in a Project, see Working with Files in a Documents.

Files and folders in Projects are tagged with a variety of badges depending on their current status. See Status Icons for Studio Files for more information.

In addition, the following tools are available in a Project tab:

• Project Settings: Click to access the Project settings available to you. All attendees can manage their Notification and Shared Link statuses. See Manage Studio Notifications and Managing Shared Project Files. Project Hosts have additional settings they can manage. See Defining Access and Permissions in Studio Projects for more information.
