Switching Between Projects
Each Keepsake project has its own dashboard, chapters, and progress tracking. Here's how to navigate between your different books
The project switcher box appears in the top right of your dashboard whenever you have multiple projects.
How to Switch Projects
Look for the Current Project Box
Find the Current Project button at the top right of your dashboard. Shows Current Project label and displays your active project name (e.g., "Alex's Life Story").
Click the button
Click the Current Project button to open the project switcher modal.
Select a different project
Choose a different project from the list. Your current project is highlighted green.
Dashboard updates
Your dashboard immediately updates to the new project.
Understanding the Project Switcher
When you open the switcher, you'll see two sections:
My Projects
- Projects you've created and own
- Shows "Your Project" indicator
- Green "SELECTED" badge on your current project
- Full control over settings and collaborators
Shared with Me
- Projects where you're a collaborator
- Shows the owner's name (e.g., "Peter's Autobiography")
- Displays your role (Admin, Editor, Viewer)
- Limited by permissions set by the owner
What Changes When You Switch
Everything updates to be project-specific:
- Dashboard statistics and progress bars
- Chapter list and completion status
- Queue and upcoming questions
- Collaborator list and activity
- Project settings and customisation
What stays the same:
- Your account settings
- Main navigation structure
- Your user profile
Tips for Best Results
Name projects clearly
Use descriptive names so you can easily distinguish between them (Mum's Biography vs Dad's Stories)
Check both sections
When looking for a project, remember to check your created projects and ones shared with you
Each project is independent
Remember that projects have different stories, collaborators, and progress tracking
Troubleshooting
- Check both My Projects and Shared with Me sections
- Verify you're logged into the right account
- Check you have the correct permissions
- Check if the project was deleted
- Make sure you're on the dashboard view
- Look in the top right area
- Try refreshing the page
- Check you have more than one project
