Project list

 
Here you can see the list of recently opened projects. Local projects are displayed in black, shared in blue, project templates in green.
 
You can create your own project from a project template. Depending on a template you chose, newly created project will contain topics usually present in a software manual, Web-service documentation, or an enterprise knowledge base.
 
If the program suddenly stopped working (e.g. due to a crash or power outage), an auto-saved copy will become available in the recent projects list. You can open it to recover the project from the last saved state.
