Create a Project

Create a Project

Projects are for storing and managing multiple related Lightboxes. By default, Lightboxes created inside of a Project inherit all the settings from the Project, you can override parent settings if you wish. 

Projects are most useful for work that would benefit from having multiple related containers (e.g. images for different chapters in a book, or a multi-step approval process).

If you know you want some settings (like invited members or upload permissions) to apply to all of the Lightboxes inside a Project, make those settings before you create the Lightboxes. 

Create a Project

  1. In the My Projects panel, mouse over the + next to the search bar.
  2. Click New Project…
  3. Give your new Project a name.
  4. Make sure the box "Create all Project Lightboxes with these same settings" is checked.
  5. You have the option to add a table of contents, invite members to your project and enable member uploads (depending on your role and organization settings). 
  6. Click Save.
