Projects

Projects organize your work in Podcast Composer.

When to Create a Project

Create a project when you have a group of feeds that belong together.

Good examples:

• One client.
• One podcast network.
• One show with several alternate feeds.
• One campaign or content package.
• One archive you want to curate.

Avoid putting unrelated clients or unrelated shows in the same project unless you intentionally want to combine their episodes.

Project Dashboard

The main Manage Projects screen shows project cards.

Each card can show:

• Project name.
• Project status.
• Number of source feeds.
• Number of output feeds.
• Number of indexed episodes.
• Last sync time.

Available actions include:

• Manage to open the project.
• Sync to sync all sources in the project.
• Delete project.

Create a Project

1. Go to Podcast Composer > Manage Projects.
2. Click Create First Project or Create Project.
3. Open the new project.

If you do not enter a name, the plugin generates a name such as Project 1.

Rename a Project

Inside the project workspace:

1. Click the rename control near the project title.
2. Enter the new project name.
3. Click Rename Project.

Renaming a project does not change feed URLs. Feed URLs are controlled by output feed slugs.

Sync a Project

From the project card, click Sync.

This syncs all source feeds in the project. The result message reports how many source feeds synced and how many failed.

Use project sync when:

• You have several source feeds.
• You want to refresh all episode indexes.
• You recently changed several source feeds on the original host.

Delete a Project

Deleting a project removes the project and related plugin data for that project, including:

• Sources in the project.
• Indexed episodes from those sources.
• Episode-to-output mappings.
• Output feeds in the project.

This does not delete or modify your original external podcast feeds or audio files.

Before deleting a project, make sure no one is using its output feed URLs.
