Managing Your Projects

Finish one book, start three more. Duplicate a project to test a bolder draft. Before long your dashboard looks like a desk you keep meaning to clear off.

Good news: it tidies up fast.

Tidy the shelf

• Organize your dashboard: group projects into collections, sort them, and fold away the ones you’re not working on.
• Rename a project and Archive a project: keep the finished ones out of your way without deleting a word.

Move things around

• Duplicate a project: an exact copy to experiment on, so the original stays safe.
• Move work between projects: send a book, chapter, scene, character, or note from one project into another.
• Merge two projects: fold a whole project into another one.

Get it back

• Recover a deleted scene, chapter, or note: for something you deleted inside a project.
• Recover or permanently delete trashed work: for a whole project you trashed from the dashboard.
• View and restore version history: roll back to an earlier draft, or bring one document forward.
• Back up your work: keep a copy of your own, outside Dabble.
