Projects in Lovable

1. 1

   Go to your Lovable dashboard.

   This is the main place to start new projects or manage existing ones.

2. 2

   In the 'Build' mode, describe what you want to create in the prompt box, or use the '+' menu to start from a template or design system.

   This tells Lovable what kind of app to build for you, creating a new project automatically.

3. 3

   Alternatively, find an existing project (yours or a template) and choose to 'Remix' it to create your own copy.

   Remixing lets you start from something already built without affecting the original.

4. 4

   Once your project is created, you can find its chat, live preview, code, and settings within the project view.

   These are the core components of your app, where you interact with Lovable and see your progress.

5. 5

   To share your project or change who can access it, use the 'Share' menu in the editor.

   This controls collaboration and visibility for your app.

6. 6

   When your app is ready for others to see, publish it.

   Publishing makes your app live at its unique web address.

7. 7

   To rename, star, move to a folder, transfer ownership, or delete a project, use the project card's menu on the dashboard, the '...' menu in the editor sidebar, or the 'Project settings'.

   These options help you manage and organize your projects as your work evolves.

Create a new Lovable project for me. I want to build a simple to-do list app. It should have a way to add new tasks, mark them as complete, and delete them. Can you start by giving me a basic layout for this?

Workspace

A personal or team area where all your projects live and are managed together.

Dashboard

The main screen you see when you log in, showing all your projects and options to start new ones.

Remixing

Making a completely independent copy of an existing project, like duplicating a document so you can edit your version without changing the original.

Subdomain

A part of a web address that comes before the main domain name, like 'your-app.lovable.app' where 'your-app' is the subdomain.

Custom domain

Your own personalized web address, like 'yourcompany.com', instead of using Lovable's default address.

Draft

A temporary copy of your project where you can try out changes without affecting the main version that others are working on or seeing.

• Deleting a project is permanent; there is no way to restore it, its version history, or its chat history. Always remix or download the code first if you might need it later.
• Renaming a project only changes its display name, not its web address (URL). You need to change the URL subdomain in Project settings separately.
• Changes made after publishing your app stay unpublished until you publish again, meaning visitors won't see your latest work until you take that step.
