Let's start from the top of the page:

  • The Search box allows you to quickly search your projects by title.
  • The academic year range drop down allows you to filter your results list to a specific academic year to review the bibliographies you made during that time period.
  • New Project Button. button will allow you to add a new project to your collection.

The information bar above your list of projects gives you the headers for each section for each part of your project information.

  • Project title - Name of your project. You can modify this list to be in alphabetical or reverse alphabetical by clicking on the arrows.
  • Contents - A quick view to see how many sources are in your bibliography, how many note cards have been made, and if any attachments were included in this project. Each icon is a direct link to your project's bibliography, note cards, or attachments.
  • Updated - A timestamp for the last time you worked on this project. You can change the order of your most recent projects to your oldest by clicking on the arrows after "Updated".
  • Sharing - Will open a side window for you to decide if you would like to share your project via the NoodleTools inbox, add a collaborator, or make your project public.

  • The three dots at the end of each project will open up an action list for that particular project:
    • Copy - Make a duplicate of your project to edit or add.
    • Add attachment - Add an attachment to your project.
    • Rename - Title your project to something else.
    • Change style - If you selected the wrong style guide for your project, you can change it here.
    • Change level - If "Advanced" was not selected, you can change it here.
