Getting Started

Get from “new workspace” to “collaborating with your team” in a few minutes. Follow this guide to set everything up.

Overview

Project Feed is organized into three levels. Understanding this structure helps everything else make sense.

Workspace

The top-level container. Every project, post, task, and member belongs to a workspace. Think of it as your team or company.

Projects

Containers for related work. Each project has its own feed, tasks, files, and settings. Can be public or private.

Posts

Rich updates your team shares — progress reports, announcements, decisions, or anything worth documenting.

Tasks

Work items with statuses, priorities, assignees, and dates. Viewable as a list, kanban board, or Gantt timeline.

Create Your Workspace

After signing in, you’ll be prompted to create or join a workspace. If you’re starting fresh, create a new one — you can always join others later via an invitation link.

  1. 1.

    Choose a name

    Pick a name that represents your team or company. This appears in the sidebar, invitations, and shared links.

  2. 2.

    Set your URL

    A URL slug is auto-generated from the name. Your workspace will be accessible at projectfeed.app/your-slug. Choose something short and memorable.

  3. 3.

    Upload a logo

    Optional. Adds visual identity to the sidebar and workspace switcher — helpful when managing multiple workspaces.

Already have a workspace? Click the workspace switcher in the sidebar to switch between workspaces or join an existing one.

Set Up Your First Project

Projects organize your updates by topic, team, or initiative. They work like channels — each one has its own feed, tasks, files, and settings.

  1. 1.

    Create a project

    Go to the Projects page and click New Project. Give it a descriptive name like “Product Updates” or “Engineering.”

  2. 2.

    Pick a color

    Choose from eight preset colors. The color identifies the project throughout the interface — in the sidebar, post cards, and task views.

  3. 3.

    Set visibility

    Choose Public (all workspace members can see it) or Private (only invited members). Default to public for transparency.

Start with 2–3 projects. You can always add more as your team grows. See the Projects documentation for header images, external links, and advanced settings.

Write Your First Post

Posts are the core of Project Feed. Share progress, announcements, decisions, or anything your team should know about. The inline composer sits at the top of every project feed.

  1. 1.

    Add a title

    Write a clear, descriptive title that summarizes your update. Good titles help teammates scan the feed quickly.

  2. 2.

    Write your content

    Use the rich text editor for formatting — headings, bold, italic, lists, code blocks, blockquotes, and links. Type / to open the slash command menu.

  3. 3.

    Attach files

    Drag and drop files into the editor or use the attachment button. Supports images (including HEIC), videos, audio, 3D models (GLB, FBX, OBJ, STL), and Rive animations. See Media & Components for all supported formats.

  4. 4.

    Publish

    Click Post to publish. Your update appears immediately in the project feed and triggers notifications for team members following the project.

Your first post could be a team introduction or a recent milestone. See Best Practices for tips on writing updates that inform and engage.

Invite Your Team

Bring your colleagues into the workspace. Members can view posts, react, comment, create their own updates, and manage tasks.

  1. 1.

    Open member settings

    Go to Settings → Members from the sidebar.

  2. 2.

    Send invitations

    Click Invite Members, enter their email addresses, and select a role.

Workspace Roles

Viewer

Read-only access. Can browse the feed, bookmark posts, and add comments and reactions, but cannot create posts or tasks.

Member

Can create posts, comments, and tasks. The default role for most teammates.

Admin

Everything a member can do, plus manage projects, moderate content, and invite others. Can restrict project creation to admins only.

Owner

Full control including billing, workspace settings, security configuration, and member management.

Start with your core team. They can help invite others once onboarded. For SSO and OIDC, see Security & SSO.

Engage & Collaborate

Once your team is posting, the real value comes from engagement. Project Feed provides several ways to interact with updates.

Reactions

Add emoji reactions to acknowledge updates without writing a comment. Workspaces can also upload custom reactions.

Comments

Leave comments to discuss, ask questions, or give feedback. Supports threaded replies and @mentions to notify specific teammates.

Post Review

Pin feedback directly on images, videos, audio, 3D models, and Rive animations with spatial annotations. See Post Review.

Notifications

The notification bell shows updates on posts you follow, comments mentioning you, and task assignments. Configure preferences in account settings.

Using Tasks

Tasks let your team plan, track, and manage work without leaving Project Feed. Access tasks from the Tasks link in the sidebar (all projects) or from the Tasks tab within any project.

List View

A dense table for scanning tasks. Click inline controls to change status, priority, or assignee without opening the detail.

Board View

Kanban-style columns by status. Drag and drop cards between columns to update status instantly.

Timeline View

A Gantt chart plotting tasks on a horizontal timeline. Set dates to visualize schedules and spot conflicts.

Tasks can be linked to posts, connecting work items to the updates that describe them. See the Tasks documentation for statuses, priorities, filtering, and keyboard shortcuts.

Keyboard Shortcuts

Speed up your workflow with keyboard shortcuts. Here are the most useful ones to start with.
