The Projects View is an overview of all your Learning Designs (LDs) organised into groups. If you cannot see the Projects View, select Window->Show View->Projects from the menu.
The Projects View
Each entry in the tree is a pointer to an XML file in its own Project
Folder. You add new Learning Designs and Group Folders to the Projects
View, or Import existing IMS LD packages and then edit them by double-clicking
the entry on the tree or by clicking the "Open in Editor"
button for the selected
entry.
Different Projects View entries can point to the same XML file if you wish, this way you can reference the same file in more than one Group Folder, rather like an "alias" or "shortcut" in a file manager.
Deleting a Learning Design entry from the Projects View does not actually delete the actual XML file that it points to. Therefore, you can always add it back again by selecting the existing XML file from the "New Learning Design" wizard.
You can synchronise the selected tree node and its corresponding open editor
by ticking the "Link with Editor" menu option on
the Projects View's toolbar.
You can "drill into" the tree folders by clicking on the "Home",
"Back", and "Go Into"
buttons on the Tree Navigation button bar.
You can view the properties of a Learning Design entry in the Projects View by selecting the File->Properties main menu item or by right-clicking on a Learning Design entry in the tree and selecting the "Properties" menu item. A dialog box will appear with information about the LD entry:
