Projects and navigation

Switch projects

After sign-in, the Projects foyer lists your projects with their most recent update time. Choose a project to open it, or choose New project to create another world.

Inside a project, open the project picker at the top of the sidebar to switch directly. Choose All projects to return to the foyer, or New project to open the project creation screen. New projects use the same recommended Worldbuilding starter and Blank structure choices shown when creating a first project.

Creation locks the name and starting point while saving. If it fails, the entered values remain and the error receives keyboard focus. Back to projects cancels and returns focus to New project. If you leave through browser navigation while a request finishes, the created project stays in the Projects list without reopening the page you left.

With the project picker focused, ↑ or ↓ opens its menu. Use the arrow keys to move, Home or End to reach either end, and Enter to choose. Esc closes it and returns focus; Tab closes it and continues through the page. Hover a shortened project name to see its full value. If the list cannot load, choose Reload projects to try again.

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

Use the sidebar

The sidebar groups pages by what you want to do:

• Data: Entities for browsing nodes, and Query for searching the graph.
• Views: Scopes for focused collections and their Canvas representations, Spatial for maps, Atlas for project-space exploration, and Timeline for dated history.
• Settings: Types and Calendars, separated at the bottom of the navigation.

On shorter screens, scroll the navigation to reach every page.

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 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. The circular button in the bottom-right corner opens Collaboration. Opening a project automatically resumes its collaboration session; an agent is optional.

The account menu shows your full email address and Log out. You can open it with ↑ or ↓, choose Log out with Enter, or close it with Esc or Tab.

Share or revisit a page

Unseen Lands keeps the active project and page in the URL. Individual nodes, relationships, Scopes, 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. Unseen Lands either finishes the pending save or asks what to do before leaving.

Open related items

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

• An Entities row opens its node detail. Query results can open 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.
