# Projects

> Organize and share Console layouts with projects.

Projects are saved Console layouts. Each project keeps its own panels and arrangement, so you can build one for a stand, campaign, or operator view.

> Make sure that you are working in an active project. A [schematic](https://docs.synnaxlabs.com/reference/console/schematics) or [line plot](https://docs.synnaxlabs.com/reference/console/line-plots) created outside one is **not saved**.

## Creating and loading

### Create

Create a project from the project selector in the top-left corner of the Console, or with the `Create a project` command in the [command palette](https://docs.synnaxlabs.com/reference/console/ui-overview#search-and-command-palette).

### Load

Load a project from the [projects toolbar](https://docs.synnaxlabs.com/reference/console/ui-overview#projects) on the left-hand side, or from the project selector in the top-left corner.

## Sharing a project

### Via link

Right-click the project in the projects toolbar and click `Copy Link`.

Anyone connected to the same Core can open the project by pasting the link into a web browser.

### Via file

Right-click the project in the projects toolbar and click `Export`.

You can also run the `Export current project` command in the [command palette](https://docs.synnaxlabs.com/reference/console/ui-overview#search-and-command-palette).

The project is saved as a directory holding a `PANELS.json` file, which describes the panels, and one JSON file per schematic, line plot, or other visualization.

## Importing a project

Run the `Import a project` command, or drag a directory containing a `PANELS.json` file into the Console.
