Projects — the work behind the documents

Projects is Profusia's work-tracking module, alongside Docs, Live and Audience in the switcher at the top of every page. A project breaks a piece of work into cards — and each project picks its own word for them: steps, features, phases, whatever your team says. A card carries a status from your workspace's own vocabulary (rename them in the workspace settings), can hold documents, a checklist, comments, and fields like Owner, Due, and Priority. The status shows on the documents themselves, everywhere they appear, so a reader knows a page is still exploratory before treating it as decided. A project is one object: starting it also sets up the other half of itself — a description and goals, kept in a same-named bucket (see "Folders versus Projects") and echoed back to your assistant whenever it publishes into the project. Describe it with your assistant, or write it by hand in the console. With two or more projects, Projects opens on All projects: every project as one row — its status, a progress bar, and what needs a look (blocked, overdue, due soon, aging — each shown only where there is something to say) — under one sentence naming the projects that need a look first. Click a row to look inside that project without leaving the list; right-click for the rest. From inside any project, All projects — the first item in the side list — brings you back. With a single project, Projects opens straight into it. One project itself opens as a live canvas with views including List, Board, Timeline, Map, Flow (which draws what waits on what), Tree (the project as a mind map, folded until you open a branch) and Abacus (every card as one bead, on a wire per branch, in the station its status is in) — and nothing reloads as you work. You choose which of them appear and in what order: the Views control on the view bar opens a sheet where you keep the ones you use, move them with the arrows, and hide the rest — and the first one in your order is where that project opens. "My work" gathers every card across the workspace whose Owner names you. Back in Docs, a document that is attached to a card shows which project and which card under its name, linking straight into Projects at that card — so you can see what a document is for without leaving the library. A card can repeat on a rhythm (weekly, monthly, quarterly…), a project can be drafted from a plain-language brief and accepted card by card, and any card can be handed to your AI assistant with its documents attached. A project can leave as Markdown or a spreadsheet, and a read-only link can show an outsider the work's state without the documents. Ask your assistant to "create a project" to start one, or use the New project button on the Projects page. Your workspace can also rename the word itself — see "Folders versus Projects".

One project opens as a live canvas with five views — List, Board, Timeline, Map and Flow, which draws what waits on what. Group by status, type or owner; drag a card between Board columns to move its status; nothing reloads. How you set it up is remembered for you, per site — a link somebody sends you never changes how you work.

The Projects front page has a "My work" switch: every card across the whole workspace whose Owner field names you, grouped by project, with past-due and blocked lanes. It reads the words in the Owner field — it is a filter, not an assignment system, and the page names the exact strings it matches.

Yes — daily to annually. Each period becomes an ordinary child card under the series card, so the series is its own archive and the open period shows up in My work like any other card. A week of downtime creates the current period and reports the gap — it never backfills invented history.

Open a card and open the AI orb (bottom right): its "or take this card to" row hands your assistant that card, its documents, its checklist and where the project's files live, along with a working guide telling it to publish the results back, attach them, and move the status honestly.
