Manage your projects

From the Mix dashboard you can delete, rename, lock/unlock, and share a Mix project.

Delete a project

Deleting a project is permanent: You will not be able to recover your project once you have deleted it.

You cannot delete a project if it has one or more application configurations deployed.

To delete a project:

  1. Select the project in the Mix dashboard.
  2. Click the Delete icon in the upper-right corner of the Mix dashboard.
  3. Click Delete to confirm.

Note: If you receive the error message: “An error occurred during the deletion of the project,” make sure that no application configurations are deployed for this project.

Clone a project

Cloning a project is currently not supported. However, you can export an existing dialog project and then import it in a new project. See Import and export data for details.

Rename a project

To rename a project:

  1. Select the project in the Mix dashboard.
  2. Click the Rename icon in the upper-right corner of the Mix dashboard.
  3. Enter a new name for the project.
  4. Click the checkmark.

Lock a project

A user can lock a project to prevent others from modifying it. Users may want to lock a project to control its contents so that they know precisely what’s in it for any important operations later such as creating builds, exporting content, and running tests.

Once a project is locked, it is in read-only mode. In read-only mode, other project members can read the project but cannot modify it until it is unlocked by the lock owner or those with required permissions. Only the lock owner can modify a locked project. Once a project is unlocked by the lock owner or those with the required permissions, it becomes modifiable again to all members.

When other project members open a locked project in Mix.nlu or Mix.dialog, an information banner appears at the top of the screen. This banner indicates who locked the project. A lock icon on the top navigation bar of the application also appears beside the language selector.

To lock a project:

  1. Select the project in the Mix dashboard.

  2. Click the Lock this project icon in the upper-right corner of the Mix dashboard.

    A message appears prompting you to confirm you want to lock your project.

    Note: Locking will automatically disable collaborators from modifying the project. Nuance recommends reaching out to your team members to inform them of the lock request before proceeding.

  3. Click Confirm. A message in the upper-right corner confirms that your project is now locked.

Projects that are locked have the lock icon next to the project name in the Mix dashboard. When a project is locked, it is in read-only mode. Contact the lock’s owner or administrator to access a locked project.

If you are the owner of a lock on a project, your name is listed in the banner visible to other project members who navigate to the project.

Unlock a project

To unlock a project:

  1. Select the project in the Mix dashboard.

  2. Click the Unlock this project icon in the upper-right corner of the Mix dashboard.

    A message appears prompting you to confirm you want to unlock your project.

  3. Click Confirm. A message in the upper-right corner confirms that your project is now unlocked.

Only the lock owner or those with required permissions can unlock a locked project. If you need to modify a project you cannot unlock, contact the lock owner or administrator for access.

When sharing a project link with another user, the behavior of the Mix dashboard depends on the user’s organizations:

  • If the project resides in an organization that the user is a member of, the user’s dashboard will switch to the project’s organization
  • If the project resides in an organization that the user is not a member of, the user’s dashboard will switch to All organizations

The shared link will open to the project’s Details in both cases.
