Projects

Using the Project tab, users may now organize multiple file types into custom-named groupings.

A project contains pointers (or references) to the files that are saved on the specific My Files pages (e.g., structures, scripts, etc.), so modifying a file affects any project(s) that point to it.

Files such as structures, scripts, and sequences can be used/shared in multiple projects. Transcripts are the exception and can only be associate with one project at any one time.
 

Creating a Project

On the Project tab, click the New Project button.

Enter a project name, and then click the Continue button.

Creating a project starts a new, active transcript that will remain associated with the project. Reopening the project at a later time will make the project transcript active.

Adding Files to a Project

_STNext-ProjectTab-Files-NoFiles.png
 
Once you've created or opened a project, you may add files by uploading structures/sequences and running scripts from the respective My Files page. In the example below, I'll add three files to a project.

The structure, sequence, and script now appear on the Files tab, where you may manage project files.

Managing Project Files

On a project's Files tab, you may upload and download structures/sequences and run scripts in your current session or remove them from the project. You may also create a report from or download the transcript associated with the project.
 

Upload and Download Structures/Sequences and Run Scripts

Click the file's ellipsis (...) icon then select the appropriate option: Upload, Download, or Run.

Remove a File

Click the file's ellipsis (...) icon then select Remove from Project.
 
Note: This only removes the reference or "pointer" to the file, which still exists in My Files.
