# Project toolbar & layouts Name, compile, export, and arrange a project from the top bar. The project toolbar stays above the workspace. Open a practice document and use this guide to identify each action. Formatting buttons inside the editor are described separately for [LaTeX](/docs/writing/latex/), [Typst](/docs/writing/typst/), and [Markdown](/docs/writing/markdown/). ## Home ![The leaf logo returns to the library. Your project name is beside it.](https://cdn.oleafly.com/images/screenshots/desktop/docs/llama-editor-dark-window-v2.png#view=0,0,773,49) Choose **Home** at the left to return to the library. Reopen the project from its book or list entry when you want to continue. ## Project name Click the current project name to edit it. Enter a descriptive name, then press Enter or choose **Save name**. Press Esc or Cancel to keep the previous name. The project name identifies the work in the library; renaming the main source file is a separate file-tree action. ## Source View ![The three view buttons sit in the middle of the project toolbar: Source, Split, then PDF.](https://cdn.oleafly.com/images/screenshots/desktop/docs/llama-editor-dark-window-v2.png#view=871,0,225,49) Choose **Source View** to give the document editor the main workspace. Use it for writing long passages, editing the preamble, or inspecting the complete formatting toolbar. ## Split View Choose **Split View** to keep the source and preview beside each other. Drag the divider to choose how much space each pane gets. This is useful while adjusting a table, equation, or figure. ## PDF View Choose **PDF View** to read the compiled output in the main workspace. Compile first if the project has no preview yet. Use this arrangement for a full reading pass. ## Recompile ![Recompile and its options arrow are followed by Export and the versioning controls.](https://cdn.oleafly.com/images/screenshots/desktop/docs/llama-editor-dark-window-v2.png#view=1265,0,337,49) Choose **Recompile** to build the current project. The result appears in the preview; failures appear in Logs. The engine determines how source becomes a PDF. See [Choosing an engine](/docs/engines/) and [Compiling](/docs/compiling/). ## Compile options Open the arrow beside Recompile to inspect the compiler options available for the current project. In LaTeX projects, select the compiler required by your template. Use Tectonic for a bundled setup, or a latexmk compiler when you need a traditional TeX distribution. Keep the project on the compiler you have tested before submission. ## Export Open **Export** to download source or a compiled result. **Source as .zip** packages editable project files; the PDF action saves the readable document. Conversion entries depend on the engine and document type. Follow [Export formats](/docs/export/) for Word, HTML, text, presentations, and books. ## Fork project Choose **Fork project** to create another project from the current one. Enter a new name that explains the purpose, such as “Paper — shorter abstract.” Use the copy to try a different direction while keeping the original available in the library. ## Versioning Open **Versioning** to inspect saved versions and recovery options. [Saved checkpoints](/docs/checkpoints/) record successful builds; [Git history](/docs/git-history/) records commits you control. Choose the kind of history that matches the work you want to recover. ## Layout ![On the right: Layout, Terminal, Browser, AI assistant, Appearance, and Settings.](https://cdn.oleafly.com/images/screenshots/desktop/docs/llama-editor-dark-window-v2.png#view=1588,0,330,49) Open **Layout** to choose one of seven arrangements. A layout changes which editor, preview, and assistant panes are shown. It does not change the manuscript. ### Editor + Preview + AI Show the source, compiled page, and assistant together. Use it for a focused revision followed by a compile. On a smaller display, widen the pane you are using or choose a two-pane arrangement. ### Editor + Preview Keep the source and PDF together. This is a useful layout for ordinary writing and page-layout work. ### Editor + AI Give the source and assistant more space. Use it to discuss a section, review a proposed edit, or work through a compiler error before reopening the PDF. ### Preview + AI Keep the rendered page beside the assistant. Use it to discuss an awkward figure placement or ask for a visual layout check with a model that supports page images. ### Editor Only Use the full workspace for source editing. This exposes more toolbar controls at once and makes long lines easier to read. ### Preview Only Read the finished document with fewer distractions. Use PDF search, the document outline, page navigation, and reader view during the review. ### AI Only Give the assistant the workspace. Use it for planning or a longer research conversation, then reopen the source to inspect the resulting work. ## Terminal Choose **Show terminal** or press Ctrl+` to reveal the project's shell. Hiding the panel is different from closing its terminal session. See [Terminal](/docs/terminal/) for tabs, commands, and output. ## Browser Choose **Open browser** to open Oleafly's browser window. Enable **Settings → Experimentation → Web browser** if the button is absent. See [Browser](/docs/browser/) for tabs, navigation, and research use. ## AI assistant Choose **Show AI assistant** to open or hide the assistant pane. The assistant's model, approval, attachment, prompt, and conversation controls are explained in [Chat, plans & tools](/docs/ai-chat/). ## Appearance Use **Appearance** to switch the interface theme while writing. For fonts, colors, PDF defaults, and terminal styling, open [Appearance settings](/docs/settings/appearance/). ## Settings Choose the gear to open Settings. The [settings catalog](/docs/settings/) links each section to its controls and setup procedures. ## Find controls in a narrow window Toolbars adapt to the available width. If a control is absent, inspect its overflow menu or widen the pane. Editor formatting, preview controls, and the top project toolbar each have their own responsibilities; changing a document's view does not remove its features.
