Project Management
Create, organize, and manage your measurement projects.
Creating a Project
- Click "New Project" from the Dashboard or Projects page
- Find your site on the map. Search an address or pan and zoom to the lot. No name or address is required to begin.
- Start measuring. Draw an area or use ProPaving auto-measure.
- Add project details when you need them. Open Details to name the project and confirm its address before preparing or sharing a proposal.
Tip: ProPaving can suggest the site address from your first saved measurement. Confirm the suggestion, or enter the address yourself if one is unavailable.
Your first project is free. To create a second project, you need a plan. Without a plan, New Project shows "Your first project is free. Upgrade to create another project." Click View plans to start a plan. See Billing for what the free project includes.
Auto-Save
ProPaving automatically saves your work as you go:
- Changes save within 2 seconds of any edit
- Look for "Auto-saving..." indicator in the header
- Your map position (center and zoom) is also saved
- No manual save button needed

- Click any project to open it in the map editor

The Dashboard shows your most recently accessed projects for quick access. Projects are sorted by last modified date.
Use the search field to quickly find projects by name or address.
Deleting a Project
- Go to the Projects page
- On the project card, click the menu icon (three dots)
- Click Delete
- In the "Delete this project?" dialog, click Delete project
Warning: Project deletion is permanent and cannot be undone. All measurements, annotations, and project data will be removed.
Deleting your free project: Your free project is used once. If you delete it, you do not get a new free project. Without a plan, you then cannot create another project. The dialog warns you: "This is your free project. Deleting it ends your free auto-measure and Quick Tap."
