Projects: Overview

What is the project tool for?

The project tool integrated in OpenOlat is primarily a tool for project documentation (not for project planning).

Where can I find projects in OpenOlat?

Users can find the projects in the header menu.

Important

The menu entry can also be in a different location. If many entries are displayed in the header, "Projects" may also be included under "More" on the far right.

Important

If a project is deleted, it can no longer be edited. However, it is still available under Projects > Tab "My projects" > Tab "Deleted". You still have read access from there. You can also download the report or reopen the project.
