Using Workspaces

Rich Display File 

If your license includes Profound JS Rich Display files, this will create a new Rich Display file and open it in the canvas.

Using Rich Displays with Low-Code / No-Code

If your license only includes Profound API, clicking this option will open the Key management page. A license for Profound.js is not needed to create APIs or callable modules of reusable code.

API File 

This will create a new, blank API json file and open it in the designer ready for low-code / no-code steps to be added.

Module File

This will create a new, blank .json module file and will open it in the designer ready for low-code / no-code steps to be created. A module can be created with one or many callable functions each with input and output parameters specified. Consider creating modules for discrete areas of your application, maintained once and used throughout all your applications. 

CSS file

This will create and open a new, blankc .css file in the designer.

JavaScript File

This will create and open a new JavaScript .js file in the designer. This file type allows for the entry of native javascript code. No low-code / no-code designer functionality will be presented.

Other

JSON File, HTML File, EJS File, Markdown File, Text File, TypeScript File, React File, Vue File

These options will each create the associated file type and open them in the canvas area. Most options will include a basic starting template appropriate for the file type. The Markdown File option is used to build the README.MD file for an application. More information on Markdown and its syntax can be found here: https://www.markdownguide.org/getting-started/.
