Your projects are listed on the projects page, which you can reach by clicking on the projects icon on the navigation bar.

Every created project is listed on the left panel and contains the project name, the date of last update and some icons.

In this case you will not be able to navigate to preparation, coding or analysis and you will have to select an existing project or create a new one.

Click on a project entry to select it as the current project, which in turn opens the project management views in the right panel.

CAUTION

⚠️ Deleting a project is final and permanent. There is no way to recover a deleted project, not by yourself (self-hosted), nor by the admins (managed).

If you intend to delete your project then click on "Delete". A prompt appears, asking you to type the project's name exactly as given (case- and whitespace sensitive).
