- Start a project Three questions, a kit and about a minute: what each step asks, and what you can change later.
- Parts, tasks and steps How a plan is built: parts, the tasks in them and the steps in those, with checkpoints, tracks and Needs help for when you need them.
- Paste the brief How the instructions you were given become parts, tasks, steps, dates and checkpoints, read in your browser by plain rules.
- Divide the work Put a person on each task, with suggestions from strengths and hours, and see whether the split is fair.
- Parts that wait for others Say that a part can't really start until another is done. It's a reminder, not a lock.
- Reviews Ask someone to look at a part. They say it looks good, or ask for changes that the owners resolve.
- The library and citations Files, sources, notes and links in one place, and a reference list in APA 7, Harvard, BibTeX or RIS.
- The calendar feed Your tasks, parts and deadlines in Google, Outlook or Apple Calendar, through a private link.
- The morning email One email on your working days, only when something needs you, never in your quiet hours.
- Your profile and privacy settings What the people you work with see about you, what only you see, and how to download or delete it all.
- Plans and limits What a free space holds, what counts toward its limits, and what happens when it's full.
