Create your first project

In Fusion, you create projects to contain and organize your design data. You can invite other people to a project to collaborate on a design, discuss challenges and successes, and stay current with project activities. Each project has its own data and people.

There are two ways to create a project:

Use the Data Panel
Save a new design

Create a new project using the Data Panel

Note: Fusion is gradually being updated with the Home tab, a new way of navigating around Fusion that replaces the Data Panel. The next time you start Fusion, check to see if you have access to it yet. See Home tab.

Click the Show Data Panel icon to open the Data Panel, which displays your projects and designs.
Click the New Project button.
Specify a name for the project.
Double-click the project to open it.

Tip: To return to the list of projects, click the Leave Data Details icon

at the top left of the Data Panel.
