Who can do this?
Accounts with the “Can create projects” permission may create projects. Co-authors open the projects they are invited to and may leave them. If access was withdrawn, the shelf shows “Access revoked” and offers an appeal.
Shelf: project overview
The shelf shows all your projects as cards; each project keeps its data separate.
What is it for?
The shelf is your home page for projects. Each project is a book project of its own and stores characters, locations and chapters separately from your other projects. The data of a project stays in that project.
Each project card shows the title, world type, number of books and status. With “Open project” you switch into the project and create books there. A banner “Continue writing” takes you straight to the most recently edited chapter with “Go to chapter”.
For projects you work on as a co-author, you can remove yourself. If your access was withdrawn, the shelf marks the project and offers an appeal. Deleted projects stay in the trash at first and can be restored from there.

Your data
A project keeps its content separate from your other projects. Deleted projects can be restored as long as they are in the trash. The appeal goes to user management, not to the original owner.
Limits
By default, at most 2 projects per account are possible without a Studio plan. The operators can change these values; Illumentis tells you the value currently in effect in the app once you reach the limit. The world type is not a literary genre; it only controls presets, such as the default means of transport. The title has at most 255 characters.
Frequently asked questions
What does “World type” mean?
Real world, your own fantasy or sci-fi world, or a mix. The type is not a literary genre and only controls presets, such as the default means of transport.
Where does my appeal go if my access was withdrawn?
To user management, not to the original owner. An administrator reviews it. You can show the contribution proof with “View contribution proof”.
What happens to my contributions when I leave a project?
Your access ends immediately, and your previous contributions are kept.
