Websites Screen Overview

The Projects screen is where Atarim opens. Everything you work on lives here as a project — a website, a set of designs, or a page you are collecting feedback on — and every other part of the product is reached by opening one.

You may see this called the Websites screen in older material. They are the same screen — projects is the current term, and it covers more than websites. A project can be a live site connected through the WordPress plugin, a site added by URL, a site connected with a script, or a set of designs and images.

What you can add here

Three buttons across the top of the screen create projects, each of a different kind. Which you see depends on your role.

Selecting any of these opens its own flow. Add Site is the quickest — enter a URL and the project is created in seconds. Add Snippet offers two connection methods, the WordPress plugin or a custom script, and unlocks more than a URL project can.

Each method has its own requirements and setup steps. Learn More About Creating Your First Project.

What a project card shows

Each project appears as a card carrying several pieces of information at a glance.

Beneath that sits a row of actions.

Choosing the right action

Three of the five open the same tasks in different shapes, which is the part that confuses people first time.

The Project Actions menu

Alongside the five shortcuts, each card carries a menu headed Project Actions. This is where project-level management lives, as opposed to the day-to-day work. What appears depends on your permissions, so two people may see different options on the same project.

Archived projects

Archiving does not delete anything — it moves a project out of the main view, frees its slot, and keeps its tasks and history intact. Everything you have archived is reached from this screen via Projects Settings → Archived Projects, and can be brought back from there.

Archiving, restoring, and what happens to a project’s tasks in the meantime are covered separately. Discover How Archiving Keeps Your Work Safe.

Finding a project

Searching

Search is the quickest way to reach a project you can name. It narrows the screen live as you type, matching against project names.

Filtering by type

Filtering narrows the screen to one kind of project. It is most useful when you work across websites and designs at once and only want to see one of them.

Sorting

Sorting changes the order projects appear in, which matters most once you have more than a screenful. Where search answers “which project”, sorting answers “which project needs me first”.

Combining search, filters, and sort

All three apply at once, which is what makes them useful and also what makes projects seem to disappear.

Working with several projects at once

Most of the screen works project by project, but two shortcuts let you handle several together. Both are easy to miss because neither is a visible button until you start.

Selecting multiple projects

Selection lets you act on a group of projects in one go — archiving a finished client’s five sites, for example, rather than opening each card in turn.

Creating a folder by dragging

The quickest way to start grouping projects is to drag one onto another. It saves opening the folder panel and picking projects from a list.

Folders

Create one from Projects Settings → Add Folder, or file an existing project using Add to folder on its card.

Creating folders, assigning projects and team members to them, and managing them over time are covered separately. Explore Adding And Managing Folders.

The Projects Settings menu

Grid view is easier to scan by screenshot, which suits a handful of visually distinct sites. List view fits far more on screen once you are managing dozens, and shows more detail per project.

Which view suits which way of working is covered separately. Find Out Which View Suits You Best.

Project limits

Your plan sets how many projects you can have. When you reach it, adding another is blocked and an upgrade prompt appears headed You Ran Out of Project Slots, suggesting you either upgrade or remove inactive projects to free up space.

FAQs

Common issues

• A project is missing. Work through four checks in order: are you in the right workspace, is a search term still applied, is a filter still on (use Clear search filters), and is it in Archived Projects. Only after all four should you suspect deletion.
• No checkbox appears when you hover a card. Selection is not available to collaborators or contributors. Ask an administrator about your role.
• A card shows but its actions do not. The project is locked because you are over your plan’s limit. Archive something, or upgrade.
• The screen is empty. Either this workspace has no projects yet, or a filter is hiding them all. Use Clear search filters.
• You cannot add a project. You have reached your plan’s project limit, or your role does not allow adding. The upgrade prompt will say which.
• A sort option opens an upgrade panel. Sorting is not included on your plan.
• An action is missing from a card. Actions are permission-based. Ask an administrator what your role allows.
• A project screenshot looks wrong or outdated. Screenshots are generated when the project is added. Open the project to see it as it is now.
• You deleted a project by mistake. Deletion is permanent and cannot be undone from the dashboard. Contact Support as soon as possible.

Conclusion

The Projects screen is deliberately simple: add the sites you work on, then use the card actions to get into the work. Add one by URL to start, open it in Collaborate, and leave a comment — that is the whole product in about two minutes.

Once a project is on the screen, the next step is configuring it to suit how you work.
