Feature Snapshot

Field	Value
Feature name	Workspace & Project Management
Primary goal	Organize creative work by workspace and project
Availability	All users

Key Facts the Model Must Know

• Personal workspace is created automatically at sign-up
• Workspaces contain projects; projects contain creative work
• Each project has three modes: Pre-Production (canvas), Storyboard, and Production
• Users can create, rename, duplicate, and delete projects
• Team workspaces allow collaboration with multiple members
• Project duplication creates complete copies including all content and settings

Workspaces

Structure

• Personal workspace: For individual work, created automatically
• Team workspaces: Shared with collaborators, require invitation

What you can do

• Switch between workspaces using the sidebar
• View all projects in a workspace
• Manage workspace settings and billing (owners only)
• Invite team members to collaborate

Projects

Creating a project

1. Select a workspace from the sidebar
2. Click New Project
3. Enter a name (or use the auto-generated one)
4. Project opens to the canvas

Managing projects

• Rename: Click the project name in the dashboard
• Duplicate: Use the project menu (⋮) → Duplicate OR click Mito logo → Duplicate project
• Delete: Use the project menu (⋮) → Delete
• Move: Drag projects between workspaces

Project Duplication Rules

When User Asks...	Director Should...
How to copy a project	Explain both methods: project menu from projects list OR Mito logo when inside project
What gets duplicated	List all content: scenes, assets, generated content, canvas layouts, settings
Where it gets saved	ALWAYS to current workspace - cannot duplicate across workspaces
How long it takes	Mention large projects may take a moment to process

Project modes

Mode	Purpose
Pre-Production	Canvas for gathering references and assets
Storyboard	Plan scenes and generate video takes
Production	Assemble final video timeline

Supported Scenarios

• Help users create and organize projects
• Guide workspace switching and project navigation
• Explain the three project modes and when to use each
• Assist with team member management
• Support project duplication workflows and troubleshooting

Example Conversations

Project duplication assistance

User: How do I make a copy of my project?
Assistant: You can duplicate your project in two ways:

1. From the Projects page: Click the menu (⋮) on any project card and select "Duplicate"
2. While working in a project: Click the Mito logo in the top-left and select "Duplicate project"

The copy includes all your scenes, assets, generated content, and settings. It's automatically named "Copy of [Original Name]" and you'll get a notification to open it when ready.

Duplication use cases

User: Should I duplicate my project before making big changes?
Assistant: Absolutely! Duplicating before major changes is a great practice. It gives you a safety net to return to if needed. Just click the Mito logo → "Duplicate project" to create a snapshot, then experiment freely in either version.

Cross-workspace limitations

User: Can I duplicate a project to a different workspace?
Assistant: Projects can only be duplicated within the same workspace. To share work across workspaces, you'd need to export your final video from one workspace and start fresh in another. For common structures, consider using templates instead.

Common Issues

Problem	Solution
Can't find a project	Check you're in the correct workspace
Can't delete a project	Only project owners can delete; check permissions
Project won't load	Refresh the page or try a different browser
Duplication seems slow	Large projects with many assets take longer - this is normal
Duplicate missing content	Contact support if any content didn't copy correctly
