User Menu

Find the User Menu by clicking the three dots in the upper right corner:

1. Section status: This is where you can see all of the sections in your project and their current stage (Drafting, Peer Check, Community Test, Consultant Check, or Approval). As the project progresses, the section status will be updated. See the How to: Review Sections in Section Status article for more information. See also How to: Export Audio.

2. Project List: Clicking this will bring you to a page showing all of your projects as well as a place where you can add a new project or offload any of your current projects. See the How to: Add or Offload a Project on Render 3 article for more information.

3. Sync: Clicking sync initiates a process that will share your files with everyone else on the project. It will sync to the web if the computer has an internet connection. If it does not have an internet connection but is connected, along with other project computers, to a router, then it will sync directly to those other computers. This is known as LAN sync. Finally, if there is a USB flash drive connected to the computer, you will see a 'USB' sync option for syncing project files to that flash drive. Render 3 is designed to automatically and frequently sync while the program is open. However, it is highly recommended that teams manually sync when they first start their work, and then again before they end a work session. 

4. Log out: Click here to exit your user and go back to the log in page where you put in your password. See the article How to Log In on Render 3 for more information about logging in.
