Docs / Start
The editor window
Workspaces
The switch at the top picks a workspace, each with the panels for one kind of work. All three edit the same document.
| Workspace | Key | For |
|---|---|---|
| Design | 1 | Shapes, text, pictures, layout, styles. |
| Animate | 2 | The timeline: keys, easing, curves, onion skin. |
| Logic | 3 | State machines, view models, scripts and the console. |
Panels
- Layers and Assets on the left: the tree of the artboard, its pictures, fonts and sounds, and the animations.
- Inspector on the right: everything about the selection.
- Bottom dock: the timeline in Animate; State Machine, View Model, Scripts and Console in Logic.
- Cmd+K opens the command palette; ? lists every shortcut.
Run and preview
Run plays the artboard with its state machine, so you can click and hover as your users will. The Live preview window keeps a running copy beside the stage while you edit.
Projects and files
Projects are kept on your device first (in the browser, its storage; in the desktop app, its own). Open file takes .eggproj projects, SVG, PSD and .riv files; you can also drop files on the window. Sign in to keep projects in the cloud as well.
