After you have started WebSite X5 and seen the Welcome Page, you can go to the Project Selection window, where you have to indicate the project you want to work on.

You can choose whether you want to create a new project or whether you want to work on one that you have already created.

§Create a new Project: choose this option if you want to start work on a new project. First of all, you have to give the new project a name: type a name in the field below. You can save the project by clicking on the Save button, which is always present in the top button bar.

You don't need to specify a path when you save a project because the program takes care of that by saving all your projects in the Projects folder which is defined in the Preferences window.

§Edit an existing Project: this option lets you open an existing project, so that you can add new contents to it or make any necessary changes. All the names of existing projects are shown in a list. There are a number of choices available for selecting and opening the project you want to work on, and they are:

Display Large icons - Display Titles - Display List - Display Details

These options define how the project previews are displayed.

Display Groups according to last edit date

This option groups and displays the projects according to their last edit date.

Use the following commands to organize your projects:

§Import...: this command imports a project that has been created and exported (see Export the Project) with WebSite X5 from another computer.

§Rename: use this command to change the name of the selected project. You can also click twice on a project name to change it.

§Duplicate: makes a copy of the selected project.

§Delete: deletes the selected project.
