# Alis Ideate Projects

Alis Ideate Projects keep one piece of work together: its people, contributions, interviews, artifacts and chats with Alis. This page lists every Projects screen in the console at <https://console.alisx.com>, by the label you see, with its path, what it shows and what you can do there, and the commands that read a project from the CLI. Paths are relative to the console host. `<project>` is a project id.

A project's interviews are on [Alis Ideate Interviews](https://docs.alisx.com/reference/interviews.md) and its artifacts on [Alis Ideate Artifacts](https://docs.alisx.com/reference/artifacts.md).

## Projects

| Screen | Path | Shows | Actions |
|---|---|---|---|
| **Projects**, tab **This account** | `/ideate/projects` | The projects in the selected account as a table: **Title**, **Project team**, **Last activity**; pinned projects first, under **Pinned**. | **New project**; **Search projects**; **Pin to top**; **Delete selected projects**; per project **More actions** with **Open in this window**, **Open in a new window** and **Delete project**. Needs Ideate access on the active account. |
| **Projects**, tab **Shared with me** | `/ideate/projects/shared` | Projects from other accounts shared with you. | **Search by account or project**; open a project. Needs no Ideate access on your own account. |
| New project | `/ideate/threads/new` | **Create a new project**: **Project title**, **Description (optional)**, **Contributions (optional)**. | **Attach files**; **Create project**, which opens a new chat with Alis inside the project. |

Without Ideate access on the active account the rail shows **Limited Ideate functionality**: shared projects open, but the project list and creation do not. See [Roles and access](https://docs.alisx.com/reference/console/roles-and-access.md).

## A project

A project opens at `/ideate/projects/<project>` and redirects to **Synthesis**. The left rail starts with a switcher for the project (**Projects**), then **Home**, **Context** (**Contributions** and **Interviews**), **Synthesis**, **Artifacts** and **Sharing**, followed by **Chats**: this project's chats with Alis and with the earlier agent. A Viewer sees a **Viewer** chip by the title, which opens **Sharing**. The title is editable in place by anyone with update rights. On every project screen except a chat and **New artifact**, the box at the foot, **What should Alis work on in this project?**, starts a new chat with Alis inside the project.

| Screen | Path | Shows | Actions |
|---|---|---|---|
| **Home** | `/ideate/projects/<project>/home` | **What should this project achieve?** and the **Project goal**. | Set or refine the goal, or tell Alis in your own words. |
| **Synthesis** | `/ideate/projects/<project>/synthesis` | One document with sections **Overview**, **Pain points**, **Current process**, **Technology**, **Jargon**, **Stakeholders**, **Gap analysis**; an outline (**On this page**). | **Copy all insights**; **Regenerate all sections**; **Expand all** / **Collapse all**; **Toggle outline**; **Enable interactive overview** (needs a project goal), then **Switch to interactive overview** / **Switch to standard overview**. |
| **Contributions** | `/ideate/projects/<project>/contributions` | The feed of contributions as tiles or a list, with contributor, date and insights; web research shows here as a contribution. Filter by **Contribution type**, **Group by parent contribution**, **List view** / **Preview view**. | **Add contribution** (a **Note**, **Upload files**, **Record screen**, **Record a voice note**, then **Talk it through** with Alis); drag and drop (**Drop files to upload**); open a tile to preview; **Remove contribution**. |
| File preview | `/ideate/projects/<project>/contributions/files/<contribution>/<n>` | One file: pages, sheets, slides, code, image, or a player with the transcript; the insights on the right. | Download; step through files. |
| Chat with Alis | `/ideate/projects/<project>/chats/<chat>` | A chat with Alis about this project. | Ask questions; ask Alis to work on the project; **New chat**; **Rename chat**; **More chat actions**. |
| Earlier chat | `/ideate/projects/<project>/threads/<thread>` | A chat with the earlier Ideate agent about this project, kept to read. **Add contribution** also opens here. | Reply to carry it into a new chat with Alis. |
| **Sharing** | Dialog on any project screen | **People with access** with their roles; **Accounts with access** (**Not shared**, or everyone in the associated account); the build partner if any; a public-access marker. | Add people by name or email; **Share**; change a role between **Owner**, **Editor** and **Viewer**; **Remove access**; open the project to the account; revoke public access. |

## From the CLI

[`alis ideate`](https://docs.alisx.com/reference/projects/cli.md) reads a project's context, contributions and artifacts, and adds notes, files and web research to it.

## Older links

Links minted before the current scheme redirect: `/ideate/home`, `/ideate/home/explore`, `/ideate/home/shared` and `/ideate/<project>/…` all land on the screens above. In a project, `overview` lands on **Synthesis**, `outputs` on **Artifacts**, and `research` on **Contributions**.
