On the Projects screen, click New Project.
On the Create a New Project screen, provide information about the project:
1. Enter a Project title. Enter a brief description that will help you remember the contents or purpose of this project when you see it later among other projects in your account.
2. Select a Citation style. Ask your teacher or instructor before choosing between MLA, APA, and Chicago. You will be able to change the style later if you need to, but since the data required to cite a source in one style can be different in another style, it is always best to start with the citation style your teacher is requesting.
3. Select a Citation level. NoodleTools allows you to select between three levels: Starter, Junior and Advanced. These are intended to roughly correlate with a student’s grade level:
4. Click Submit to create your new project. if you change your mind, click “X” in the upper right corner to return to your Projects screen.
When you open your new project, the first screen will be the Dashboard. See the NoodleTools Help Desk tutorial “How to use the Dashboard.”
You can create a duplicate copy of an entire project (source list, notecards and outline) in your own folder, or transfer a copy to another NoodleTools user. For instructions on how to copy individual citations, see “How to copy a source reference to another project.”
To copy a project, on the Projects screen, next to your project select the Options menu (the 3 vertical dots) and Copy.
On the popup screen, Copy projects, select my own personal folder if you want to duplicate the project in the same folder, or select another user’s folder and enter a personal ID to transfer a copy of the project to another user.
If you have work under two separate NoodleTools accounts, (for example, you accidentally set up two accounts under a West Sound Academy's subscription), the copy feature is a simple way of gathering all your work into a single account.
Note: If there is more than one user with the same personal ID, you may be prompted to identify the school or account type of the user before the transfer completes.
To rename a project, on the Projects screen, next to your project select the Options menu and Rename. You will be prompted to enter a new description for the project. Each project in your folder should have a unique name.
One or more projects can be deleted by clicking on the option menu (3 vertical dots on the far right of the projec name) and then click Delete . The selected projects will no longer appear in your account.
As a safeguard, NoodleTools does not remove deleted projects. To recover a deleted project, click on the 3 vertical dots a the top of the project screen and then click Undelete.
NOTE TO COLLABORATORS: If you select a collaborative project and delete it from your Projects list, the project is not deleted at all – you are simply removed as a collaborator from that project. The project will still remain visible to your teammates. If you accidentally delete a collaborative project from your folder, ask one of your teammates to re-add you as a collaborator to the project. For more information, see “How to set up a collaboration with your classmates.”
