Editing Project Settings

Who this is for:FreeBasicProOrganization

Every project in Zibit starts with a foundation: a name, a description, and the displays it's designed to run on. Whether you're setting up a touchscreen kiosk for a natural history museum, configuring a multi-screen gallery installation, or refining a digital signage experience for a visitor center, your project settings are where those fundamentals live. Keeping them accurate helps your whole team stay oriented — and makes it easier to manage projects as your workspace grows.

Opening a Project's Settings from the Dashboard

The My Projects dashboard shows all the projects in your workspace as cards. Each card has a small actions menu that lets you manage that project without opening it.

To access a project's settings, find the project card you want to update and click the "Project actions" button (the icon in the corner of the card). This opens a dropdown with options like editing settings, duplicating the project, and more. Nothing changes until you make a selection, so feel free to explore.

Opening Your Project Settings

From the My Projects page, each project card has an overflow menu that gives you quick access to project-level actions. Click the Project actions button (the three-dot icon) on the card you want to configure, then select Edit settings from the menu that appears.

This opens the project configuration page, where you can update the project name, adjust its display settings, and manage other details. Don't worry — none of your moments, flows, or components are affected by changes made here, and you can update these settings again at any time.

Exploring Project Settings

The Project Settings page is your control center for everything that defines how your project looks, behaves, and runs on its target devices. Here you can rename your project, add or manage displays (the screen resolutions your experience will run on), apply a style set for consistent typography and colors, and configure accessibility voiceover options — useful for museum exhibits that need to meet accessibility standards.

You'll also find the Store section for managing store variables (great for tracking visitor choices across moments), and Web publishing to share a preview link. Don't worry — most of these settings can be changed at any time. The Danger Zone at the bottom is the only place where permanent actions like deleting the project live, so it's easy to avoid accidentally making irreversible changes.

Rename Your Project

A "Rename Project" dialog has appeared over your project settings. Type your new project name into the "Project Name" field — this is what you and your team will see in the dashboard, so choose something descriptive (for example, "Lobby Welcome Experience" or "Dino Exhibit Kiosk").

When you're happy with the name, click "Rename Project" to save your changes. If you change your mind, click "Cancel" or "Close" to dismiss the dialog without making any changes — your original name will stay intact.

Managing Displays for Your Project

The Displays section lists every target screen resolution and orientation your project supports. Each display defines how your content is sized and laid out — for example, a portrait touchscreen kiosk, a landscape video wall, or a standard web browser window. Your project currently has one display set up.

To add a new display — say, if your exhibit needs to run on a second screen type — click "Add Display". Each display you add will have its own view inside every moment, so you can tailor the layout for each screen without affecting the others. Don't worry if you're not sure yet — displays can be added or adjusted at any time.

You've got the essentials covered — your project is named, described, and configured for the right displays. From here, there's a lot more you can shape to make your experience feel polished and purposeful. Here are some great next steps to explore:

  • Set up a style set — Define your project's typography, colors, and shadows in one place so every moment stays visually consistent.
  • Add or edit moments — Start building out the screens of your experience and connect them with flows to guide visitors through the content.
  • Configure your flows — Control how and when visitors move between moments, including timed transitions and conditional navigation.
  • Link a collection — Connect a reusable data set to power dynamic content like exhibit listings, artifact details, or event schedules.
  • Preview on your display — Use the display preview tools to see exactly how your project will look on the target device before it goes live.
