Projects & Demo Projects

This page documents how project management works in the dAIve web app.

Your Projects

The Your Projects page is the main cloud project list.

Each project card shows:

• the project name
• the last-updated timestamp

Each project card supports:

• Open loads the project into the browser workspace
• Rename opens an inline editor to change the project name
• Export downloads the project as a .dvp file
• Delete permanently removes the project and its stored files

You can also create a new project with the New Project button.

Creating a project

Click New Project, enter a name, and click Create. The project record is saved immediately.

You then open the project to start working inside the 6-step workflow.

Typical flow

1. create or open a project from Your Projects
2. work inside the 6-step workflow
3. save back to the same project or create a copy

How cloud projects behave

Web projects are stored in the cloud and loaded into the browser workspace when opened.

Important behavior:

• creating a project first creates the cloud project record
• you then open the project to work inside the 6-step workflow
• saving changes is explicit, not silent

If you leave with unsaved changes, the app asks whether to save and continue, discard changes, or cancel the navigation.

While a project is open, the sidebar and mobile navigation expose:

• Back to Project (returns to the project workflow when viewing other pages)
• Save Project (writes the current workspace back to the cloud project)
• Save Project As... (creates a new copy)

For demo projects, the save action is replaced by Save As for non-admin users.

Save Project vs Save Project As...

Save Project

Writes the current browser workspace back to the existing cloud project.

Save Project As...

Opens a prompt for a new project name (defaults to "ProjectName (Copy)") and saves the current workspace into that new cloud project.

Use it when you want to:

• branch an experiment
• keep a personal copy of a demo project
• avoid overwriting the original project
• preserve a snapshot before major model changes

Export

The Export action downloads the selected cloud project as a .dvp file.

Important limitation:

• export only works after a real project archive exists
• if a project record exists but was never opened and saved, export can fail until the first save has happened

In practice, opening and saving the project once resolves that case.

Demo Projects

The Demo Projects page contains shared example workspaces.

An info banner explains the behavior:

• for normal users: "Demo projects are shared examples. Changes are allowed, but saving back to the demo is disabled."
• for admin users: "Demo projects are shared examples. As admin, you can save changes back to the demo."

Normal users

Normal users can:

• open a demo project
• edit it during the current session
• use Save Project As... to keep a personal copy

Normal users cannot:

• overwrite the shared demo project

Admin users

Admin users can additionally manage demo projects through three creation methods:

1. Copy a Project

Copy an existing personal cloud project into the demo area. Select the source project, enter a demo name, and click Copy to Demo Projects.

2. Upload a .dvp file

Upload a local .dvp file and publish it as a demo project. Enter a demo name, select the file, and click Upload & Create.

3. Create a blank demo project

Create an empty demo project with no .dvp upload. Enter a demo name and click Create blank demo.

Admin users can also:

• rename demo projects inline
• delete demo projects

That makes demo projects suitable both for evaluation content and for curated example workspaces managed by admins.

Project limits

Project creation and copying are limited by the current plan.

UI behavior:

• New Project is disabled when the limit is reached
• Save Project As... is blocked if the copy would exceed the limit
• the app shows an amber banner explaining the limit and suggesting to delete projects or upgrade

When the account is over the limit (e.g. after a downgrade), the banner reflects the current count vs the allowed limit.
