Navigating to 'Projects'
The Projects section of your profile lives under the Content section in your Business Manager.
This is where you can view your projects and create new ones, click 'Add a New Project' in the top right.
Creating a new project
Once you have clicked 'Add a New Project' in the top right, you will land in your Project Editor. You should go through each section within Project Details and fill out as many fields as you can. Some fields are required, labeled with an asterisk symbol (*). The more information you can provide about your project, the better!
Use our A.I. tool to generate your project's description in the Project Information section.
The Page Builder is where it gets fun. You will be able to begin this section once you have completed the required fields within Project Details.
First you need to upload your banner, you can drag in a high resolution single landscape image or click on the box to upload it from your computer. The ideal dimensions are 1820 x 818 pixels.
Scrolling down, you can add sections to your project by clicking the box 'Add a Section'. You can also add sections when you hover over an existing section and select the '+'.
There are four different section types to choose from; Photos, Gallery, Videos, and Text.
Select the section and style you wish to insert, then click to edit that section. You can also upload up to 20 images at a time, and these will be automatically laid out for you - scroll to the bottom of the page and select 'Upload' in the Auto-layout Bulk Upload box.
There are two ways to rearrange your content. You can do so by hovering over a section and clicking on the arrow 'move up' or 'move down' buttons, or by selecting the four squares 'layout' button, which will open a panel on the left where you can drag your sections up and down.
By selecting the pencil icon when you hover over an image, you can add a caption for the image. By selecting the tag icon, you can tag products in the image - this is an excellent way to increase your project's visibility on ArchiPro.
To preview your content, click the eye icon in the top right. Once you're happy with how your content looks, the next step is entering photo credit for all of your imagery. Every image requires photo credit to be published to the directory. You can add photo credit to images individually, or select all to bulk add.
The next step is adding to your Network - this will also help your project appear in more places on ArchiPro. Link professionals and suppliers on ArchiPro that had involvement with the project!
Lastly is Search and SEO - populating fields in these sections will help to increase your searchability. We've made the SEO description field simple by just pasting your project description - but there is a maximum of 165 characters, so you may need to shorten it.
Publishing your project
Once you're happy with your content and filled out all required fields, you can hit 'Publish' in the top right corner. This will be immediately published to your profile, and then will go through an approval process with our Platform Team before it is added to the Project Directory. A project requires a minimum score of 40% to be published - however, your score does not impact your place in the directory, it simply indicates to you how many fields you have filled.

If you're not quite ready to publish your project, ensure you press the save button.
Viewing your projects, and editing existing ones
Within the Project page in Business Manager, you can see all of your published and drafted projects. You can see here which linked professionals or product tags are pending approval, your project scores, and their current status. You can also search for a project, or filter by status, category, or attention required.
