Creating a Project

Learn how to create and set up projects in BYOK Studio.

What are Projects?

Projects are containers that hold all of your files related to a specific body of work — a novel, a journal, work documents, or anything else. You can create as many projects as you like.

1
Open the Project Grid

The Project Grid is your home screen in Studio. When you sign in, this is the first screen you'll see. If you're inside a project, click the back arrow in the header to return here.
