Concepts

  • When you initialize a new workspace with Predlab, you create a reference to that project in the cloud that you can synchronize across your work stations and share with team members. That reference holds all the annotations and team activity.
  • Since Predlab is sessions-based, only team members can have access to a projects content.
  • A config file in the project’s directory under .predlab/ is created to keep reference to the remote project. It is recommended to add that file to git.

Create a Workspace for a Project

This part will walk you through creating a workspace for one of your projects.

If you are looking for joining an existing workspace, or loading one that you previously created, check the sync workspace section.

To create a new workspace for a project:

  1. Unlike Sandbox Mode, make sure that you are logged in.
  2. Open the project that you want to create a workspace for as you normally do for your IDE
  3. Choose Create Workspace

Predlab Sync Project Initialize

  1. Provide basic project information.

Predlab Sync Project Initialize

A popup will appear if the project has been successfully created.

Version Control

Optional

Once your project is initialized, you will be asked to add .predlab/config.json file to source control. That allows Predlab to recognize the project when you/your team mates checkout a remote repository.

Where To Go from Here?

Now your workspace is setup! Go ahead and start annotating your code.
