Figure: Create object wizard
When the new project has been created, TextGrid objects (e.g. TEI/XML texts, XSLT adaptors, images) can be added or an existing object belonging to another project can be copied into the new project.
Create a new object either by selecting “File” in the menu bar and left-clicking “New Object ...” or by right-clicking anywhere in the Navigator window and selecting “New Object ...” from the context menu.
Note: If you want to create a new object using the menu bar and have not logged in yet, you will now be required to authenticate (cf. Authentication). Also make sure that you have appropriate rights for creating objects (cf. Adding Users and Assigning Roles).
A dialogue opens:

If the project that is to contain the new object is not preselected in the create object dialogue, left-click it now. Select the object type in the dropdown menu Type and click on the button Next for assinging metadata (cf. Creating Metadata) and a schema (cf. Associating an XML Schema and Validating XML Files) to the new object.
Note: Metadata and a schema can be added later. You can click on the button Finish at any time.
After finishing the Create Object wizard, click on the button Finish. A new perspective is opened showing the Metadata Editor and the XML Editor. Now you can start editing the object (cf. documentation of Metadata Editor and XML Editor).
Copying an object from another project is to be a standard function of TextGridLab. At this stage, however, it has not yet been implemented.
Objects can be published in order to be readable for the general public. Published objects in TextGrid cease to be editable and cannot be deleted any longer. Publish an object by right-clicking it in the Navigator or in the Search Results view of the Search module (cf. documentation of Search module) and selecting “Publish”.
Although a role invested with delete rights (Administrator) has been defined within the roles and rights concept of TextGrid, at this stage deleting objects is not possible.
