project basics
What are Projects?
A project is an organized collection of posts. By gathering posts together in a project, you can create lists, annotated bibliographies, and documents around a topic. You can also invite collaborators to work with you on projects.
Making Projects
Before bringing posts together in a project, you need to create a new project. To create a project, click on "Make a New Project" in the PennTags Toolbox on any PennTags page. Here you will assign a title to your project. You can also write a description and tags for your project. (mini screen-shot)
Adding Posts to Projects
Before you can add posts to a project, you must have created the project (See above). You can add individual posts to a project at the time of posting by selecting a project from the drop down in the posting form, or later, by scrolling over the (folder picture) link to the right of each post. You can also add multiple posts to a project at the same time by using the Action Tools(link)
Remove Posts from Projects
To remove a post from a project, navigate to the project page for that project (you can click on the link to the project from your tagspace). There, you can click the "remove from project" link attached to the post. This does not delete the post, it simply removes it from the project.
Deleting a Project
Each project appears as an individual post in your tagspace, so by deleting that title post (the title post has a folder icon next to it), you will delete the whole project. You do not delete the posts within the project when you do that, however but they are no longer associated with the project.
