Before diving into design creation, let's understand how Abyssale organizes your work and the different ways you can start creating stunning visuals.
Understanding Projects in Abyssale
Projects are the foundation of organizing your design work in Abyssale. Think of them as folders that help you keep related designs together - whether they're for a specific campaign, client, or department. Every design must live within a project, so this is your essential first step.
