Project Organization
ERD Builder Pro uses a project-based organization system to ensure your documentation stays structured and easy to find.
Workspace Hierarchy
Your documentation is organized into three main levels:
- Workspace: Your global workspace (connected to a single Supabase database).
- Project: A logical container for a specific application or client.
- Files: Technical documents within that project.
Document Types in a Project
Each project is highly flexible. You can combine the following document types within the same project:
- ERD Diagrams: Focus on designing PostgreSQL/MySQL database schemas.
- Flowcharts: Used to map out application logic or business processes.
- Notes & Documentation: A place to record business rules, API documentation, or technical guides.
- Drawings (Excalidraw): A freeform canvas for UI mockups, brainstorming, or architecture sketches.
[!TIP] A project is not limited to a single file. You can have, for example, 3 ERD Diagrams (for different modules), 5 Note files, and several Drawing sketches within one project named "E-Commerce Application".
File & Project Management
- Grouping: Use descriptive project names (e.g.,
Backend-CRM-V2) to separate work focuses. - Moving Files: If a file seems more suitable for another project, you can move it via the settings menu in each file without losing data.
- Search: Use the filter/search feature in the sidebar to quickly find files by name or file type.
[!CAUTION] Caution When Deleting a Project: Deleting a project will mass delete all documents within it. Although these files go to the Trash, restoring a large number of files can be time-consuming. Always double-check the project contents before deleting.
