Dashboard and Navigation

Choose the active team and workspace first

The team and workspace selectors set your current context. Select the combined control at the top of the sidebar to expand its team and workspace choices in place. Choose the team that owns the work, then the workspace that contains the project. Select Manage there to open Teams & workspaces. Projects, usage, assets, and permissions follow that context.

Always check these selectors before creating a project, inviting a member, opening usage, or looking for an item that appears to be missing. A project belongs to one workspace, and a workspace belongs to one team, so the same name in another context is a different item.

Use the sidebar

Resources groups Exports, Tasks, Assets, and Uploads under routed tabs, opening Exports by default. Models opens the team model library.

The number beside Resources counts queued, running, and retrying jobs in the selected workspace. Click the number to open Active work, grouped into Tasks and Exports, with project names, statuses, and progress when available. View tasks or View exports opens that tab with In progress selected and clears previous search and project filters; click a job to open its details. Project backups appear in Exports. The Tasks and Exports tabs show their own active counts, including a muted zero when nothing is active. The counts cover the workspace even when the list is searched or filtered.

Teams & workspaces has Teams & workspaces and Credentials tabs for membership, organization, and saved provider credentials. Select Manage in the team and workspace control to open it. Usage & Limits covers tier limits and subscriptions. The Community group contains Feed, Top Users, Atlas, and Forum.

In the Web UI, Collections and Resources sit together with the main destinations. Community expands on demand. Usage & Limits, Data Providers, and Documentation sit at the bottom of the sidebar. On a narrow screen, use the menu button to open navigation and expand the team and workspace choices in place.

Select Edit navigation in the sidebar to arrange it. The links keep their normal layout while editing. Use the eye beside a page to hide or show it, the pin to put it in Pinned, and the grip to drag it into a new order or group. You can also focus the grip and use the up and down arrow keys to reorder, or the left and right arrow keys to change groups. Drop a page on a group heading to add it there. New group creates a collapsible group; its menu lets you rename, reorder, or remove it. Removing a group returns its pages to the main list. Select Reset to restore the default arrangement, then Finish editing navigation to return to the usual links. Your choices follow your account across devices. Hidden pages remain available through their URLs and search, and your team permissions still apply. If a change cannot be saved, the previous arrangement returns so you can try again. If your choices cannot be loaded, select Retry before editing.

Choose the interface layout

Every account uses the same updated Web UI. There is no layout setting or switch; projects and permissions are unchanged.

Navigation and the main pages use the updated design. Light and dark themes both work. Animations respect your device’s reduced-motion preference.

Returning to Dashboard, Projects, Models, or Resources → Uploads and Exports keeps previously loaded content visible while it refreshes. The content follows your selected team and, where applicable, workspace. Project images, avatars, model thumbnails, and Collections previews can be reused by your browser on later visits; replacing an image shows the new picture. Reload the page if you need to discard the remembered page data.

In the Web UI, the sidebar logo includes the selected team’s tier, available/capacity Units, a slim bar, and the next return countdown. The same compact summary stays in the header on narrow screens. The first number is available Units and the second is capacity. The balance updates when Units return; unlimited capacity is shown as ∞. Usage & Limits shows the team’s capacity and return interval. A dash means a team has not been selected or its balance is still loading. At desktop widths, Search features or docs stays centered in the header. Select it or press Ctrl+K to expand search from that field.

Read the Dashboard page

In the Web UI, /dashboard puts your most recently updated, editor-ready Project V2 under Continue work. Select Open editor to open it in a new tab, or select the card to view project details. If your browser blocks the new tab, allow pop-ups and try again. If no project is ready, Continue work opens the most recently updated active project and offers Continue setup for Project V2 or View project for a Legacy V1 project. Choose a team and workspace in the sidebar to see their projects and exports.

Continue work stays compact on wide screens. Active processing tasks and exports appear beside it under In progress, with links to their details and task progress when available. A failed export among the three recent exports appears there under Needs attention with an error summary when available. When nothing is running or needs review, Latest activity links to the latest completed export and processing task.

Recent projects shows up to three other active projects, ordered by last update, or one short empty line. Recent exports shows up to three non-archived exports, newest first, in compact cards. Select a card to open its details. Completed exports offer a direct download only while their file is available; failed exports offer Review. Download or Review and the three-dot menu sit side by side at the right of each export card. Hover over a Project V2 card to reveal Open editor when that project is ready, plus a three-dot menu. Keyboard focus reveals the same controls, and touch screens keep them visible. A Project V2 menu offers Edit when your team role permits project management; a Legacy V1 card is marked Legacy and links to its read-only details. An export’s menu opens its related project.

Quests appears below Recent exports only when you have a useful step left: set up MFA, link Google or Patreon, try the AI Assistant, or connect an AI agent with MCP. Scroll the cards horizontally or use the arrow buttons. Select a card’s action to open the relevant control; the Settings actions open the right Account or Security tab. Select its close button to dismiss that quest across your account. Completed and dismissed cards disappear, and the whole section disappears when none remain. The Assistant and MCP quests appear only for eligible paid teams, not Basic teams. An answered Assistant question unlocks The Answer Is 42 achievement and 500 EXP; connecting an agent through MCP can unlock another achievement. Earlier completed Assistant answers and MCP connections are recognized automatically when these achievements arrive.

The wider What’s new column links to one recent Forum topic, Feed post, Changelog entry, and Blog post, with short text previews when available. It also links to the latest published Atlas map. Each source remains linked when it has no recent item or cannot load. Usage & limits always shows the selected team’s storage use and a link to review files. Teams with a storage cap also see the limit and a progress bar; teams without one see Unlimited. Units remain in the header. Use View all beside a recent row to open its full list. If a project or export list cannot load, an alert asks you to refresh the page.

Find a feature or documentation page

Open the feature finder in the header and type the name of a page, action, or concept. Results can take you to platform features or to a documentation article. Choose the matching result; the finder does not change project data.

Use the finder when you know what you want to do but do not know which sidebar group contains it. Use a page search field, such as the one on Projects, Tasks, Assets, or Atlas, when you are searching the contents of that page instead.

Task and notification center

Open the notification control in the header to see team and service notices, live task and export progress, and account, team, community, and Noteboard events. In the Web UI, the number on the bell counts unread history, while a separate colored signal indicates an active notice or live work. The panel groups items under Needs attention, Live activity, Unread, and Earlier. Select an item to open its destination when one is available.

In the Web UI, page errors and achievement notices appear together in a live area at the bottom right, or along the bottom on narrow screens. Dismiss each notice with its close button. Errors remain until dismissed or the affected page state changes; matching notices are grouped. Validation for a field stays with its form.

Use Mark all read to keep the items but clear their unread state, or open the panel actions menu and choose Clear all when you no longer need the current notification history. Neither action removes an active processing, storage, or service notice. Team invitations include Accept and Reject actions in the notification itself. Notification settings opens your account preferences.

A processing-paused banner means the active tier currently cannot start more work. Open Usage to see the Unit capacity, replenish interval, or other limiting tier condition, then wait for Units to return, free capacity, or change the applicable plan.

A storage-limit banner is different: the active tier still allows work to start, but task units return more slowly while the team is over its storage limit. The banner shows the current return time. Remove unused uploads, assets, exports, or projects to restore the normal rate.

A service status banner sits above those two and is about MapToPlay itself rather than your team. Ongoing incident means something is broken and is being worked on, Degraded performance means the platform still works but is slower or partly unavailable, and Scheduled maintenance means planned work with a known end. Any note under the heading is written by MapToPlay, and the banner disappears once the platform is operational again.

Messenger and account menu

Use the Messenger control to open direct conversations and team chats without leaving the current page. An unread badge shows conversations that need attention. Direct-message requests must be accepted before normal two-way conversation begins. In the Web UI, the message editor includes formatting, image attachment, and preview controls.

Open the account menu at the far right for My Page, Settings, and Log out. In the Web UI, its round button shows your cropped avatar or a fallback initial. My Page opens your public community profile; Settings opens private account and security preferences.

Guided tour and first project

The first-time notice may appear when applicable; there is no guided tour.

The normal first path is Projects -> New project -> Project Wizard. After source tasks finish, open the project, launch the Editor, import the completed source assets, review the map, and return to the project to queue an export.
