Create a project

You can create a project from Fusion or the Fusion web client. A hub administrator must have given you project creation permissions.

Before you start

It is important to plan ahead and think about the purpose of your project and who will have access. If a project member has access to a folder in a project, they can see the names of all other folders in that project, even if they don’t have permission to see the contents of those folders. If this presents privacy issues, consider creating a separate project for sensitive folders. This way, folder names will only be visible to the members of that project. See the section, Names of protected folders can be visible, in Projects.
By default, a new project is secret. Only you and hub administrators have access to a project you create.
- To give access to other people, you need to invite them to the project.
- To give access to everyone in the hub, invite the group Everyone to the project. This enables future hub members to have access to the project.
The maximum number of members for a project is 500. If you feel that the number of members might get close to this, consider consolidating some members into groups. A group counts as only one member in a project.

In Fusion

Create a 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.

At the top of the Data Panel, click New Project.
Enter a name for the project.

Create a project while saving a new design

You can also create a project within the Save dialog, while saving a new design.

On the toolbar, select File > Save.
In the Save dialog, enter a name for the design in the Name box.
Click the down arrow for the Location box.
Click New Project.
Enter the name of the project.
Click the new project name.
Click Save.

Note: If your design contains design references, you can only save within the same project.

In the Fusion web client

Only hub members can create projects with the Fusion web client. They can create an unlimited number of projects. The person who creates a project is the project administrator.

Click the Fusion web client icon in the upper left corner of the browser, to show a list of projects on the hub.
On the right side of the window, click Create Project.
Enter a project name.
Select an avatar for your project.
Click Create Project.
