Projects and navigation

Switch projects

Section titled “Switch projects”

Open the project picker at the top of the sidebar and choose a project. Choose New project to open the full project creation screen, then select either the recommended Worldbuilding starter or Blank structure. These are the same choices shown when creating a first project.

Switching changes the active graph everywhere. If you switch while viewing an individual node, relationship, layout, calendar, or type, Weave returns to the corresponding list page in the new project rather than showing an item from the old one.

Use the sidebar

Section titled “Use the sidebar”

The sidebar divides the app into two sections:

  • Workspace: Overview, Layouts, Tables, Query, and Timeline.
  • Settings: Types and Calendars.

Use Search near the top of the sidebar to find a node or relationship in the current project. You can also open it with Cmd/Ctrl+K. See Overview and project search for search scope and time behavior.

Use the panel button near the upper-left corner to collapse or reopen the sidebar. On a compact screen, it opens over the current page; click outside it or press Esc to dismiss it.

At the bottom of the sidebar you can control project time, send feedback, open the account menu, and switch between light and dark themes.

Share or revisit a page

Section titled “Share or revisit a page”

Weave keeps the active project and page in the URL. Individual nodes, relationships, layouts, calendars, and types have their own paths, so a browser bookmark returns to that item after sign-in.

Unsaved calendar edits and in-progress layout saves are protected during navigation. Weave either finishes the pending save or asks what to do before leaving.

Section titled “Open related items”

Names and rows throughout the app are links into the graph:

  • A table or query result opens its node or relationship detail.
  • A connection on a node opens the node at the other end.
  • A layout reference opens that layout.
  • A rich-text @ mention opens the mentioned node or relationship.
  • A timeline transition opens the item that entered or left the world.

Use the browser Back button or the page’s back action to return to the previous view. Deep links use the same detail pages.
