First steps

Creating the project from scratch

This tutorial creates a new project and builds its project graph from scratch.

Every new project is created with a project (root) entity, which is the root of the project graph, and a main notebook. This tutorial sets the notebook aside and builds the graph from the project entity, by adding and linking other entities.

Building up the project graph from scratch

To add an entity to the project graph, right-click its source entity in the project tree and select "Add".

Add a new Entity

In the dialog, enter the new entity's name, its entity type and the link id under which the source entity links to it. Some predefined entity types come with their own features, user interfaces and APIs.

Important: the garbage collector removes, after some time, every entity that is not reachable from the project entity, directly or indirectly.

For this tutorial choose the entity type "notebook" and the link id "main" to create your first notebook.

The new entity appears in the project graph.

The tree view and the graph view offer the same operations through their context menus.
