How to Start a New Plottr Project

Are you ready to start a new Plottr project? In this article, we show you three different ways to do just that.

Overview

There are currently three ways to start a new Plottr project, which is a file you can think of as the container for the series, books, stories, or pieces of writing you intend to group together:

• Blank: Start your first "book" in the project with an empty canvas
• Template: Start your first "book" in the project with a plot template
• Snowflake Pro: Start your first "book" in the project from an existing Snowflake Pro file

Once a project is created, you can add new blank and template-based "books" to it (and delete them). However, you cannot currently import a book from Snowflake Pro into an existing project.
