Creating a New Project

Once you've logged into Codex, you'll see the project setup screen displaying all available projects.

Understanding the Project Screen

The project setup screen shows three types of projects:

Local Projects (Gray)

Projects that exist only on your machine and haven't been synced with any teams. These are private to your computer.

Team Projects (Blue)

Projects that have been synced with other teams. The blue indicator shows they're connected to a shared workspace.

Remote Projects

Projects you've been invited to but haven't downloaded yet. These show a Clone option, allowing you to download them to your local machine.

Filtering Your Projects

You can sort and filter projects using the view options:

• Available Locally: Shows all projects downloaded to your computer
• Local Only: Projects that exist only on this machine (not yet published to teams)
• Remote: Projects you've been invited to but haven't downloaded yet

Creating a New Project

Creating a project is straightforward:

1. Click the Create New Project button
2. Enter your project name (e.g., "The Cool Project")
3. Your project will be created instantly

That's it! Your new project is ready to go.

Next Steps

After creating your project, you'll configure:

1. Source Language: The language you're translating from
2. Target Language: The language you're translating to
3. Import Source Files: Add your source texts to begin translation

Your new project will appear as a gray (local) project until you choose to sync it with a team.
