Dashboard & workspaces

Organise files and projects, invite teammates and manage your workspace.

The dashboard is where you land after signing in. It shows your recent files, your folders and everything shared with you, and it is where you manage your workspace, members and plan.

The Shippp dashboard: sidebar with folders on the left, recent files as thumbnails on the right. — Recent files, with Import file… and New file in the top right.

Item	What it does
Workspace switcher	Switch between workspaces or create a New workspace. It shows your plan next to the name.
Files	Recent files, Shared with me (files and projects other people invited you to, from this and other workspaces) and Recently deleted. The + creates a file.
Projects	Folders of files. The + creates a project. Projects shared with another company's workspace appear here too (Pro and Max).
Plan card	Your plan with this week's MCP usage and this month's code exports, and Upgrade.
Documentation · What's new · Feedback	These docs, the changelog, and a bug report or feature request to the Shippp team. See Feedback & feature requests.

Working with files

Create or import a file

New file creates an empty file and opens it in the editor.
Import file… opens a .comet file — the format Shippp uses for full file backups, including assets.
The + next to Projects creates a project (folder) in the current workspace.

Find a file

Use Search all files in the toolbar, and sort by Last modified, Date created or Name. Inside a folder, the search only looks in that folder.

File actions

Right-click a file card, or use its … button:

Action	Result
Open / Open in new window	Opens the file in the editor.
Rename…	Renames the file in place.
Duplicate	Creates a full copy in the same place.
Save as…	Downloads the file as .comet, with its assets — a portable backup.
Move to	Moves the file into another folder. Shippp tells you if people will gain or lose access.
Upload thumbnail…	Replaces the automatic thumbnail with your own image. Reset to automatic thumbnail undoes it.
Delete	Moves the file to Recently deleted.

Recently deleted

Deleted files stay in Recently deleted for 30 days. Restore brings a file back with its original sharing; Delete forever removes it immediately. Emptying the trash cannot be undone.

Settings

All settings open in one window. Open it from the avatar menu (Account) or the workspace menu (Settings & members, Plan & billing, Security). The window has three groups:

Group	Section	What you manage
Account	Profile	Your picture, name, email, sign-in methods (Connect Google) and Sign out.
Account	MCP	Your connected AI clients. See Access & permissions.
Account	Privacy & data	Export your data or delete your account.
Workspace	General	The workspace name and logo, and the danger zone (leave or delete the workspace).
Workspace	People	Members: invite by email as Editor, Admin or Viewer, change roles and remove members.
Workspace	Plans & credits	Your plan, editor seats, free viewers, weekly AI usage per member, and your code-export and MCP usage.
Workspace	Connected projects	Projects shared with another company's workspace.
Workspace	Security	Admins only: Domain restriction, Only admins can invite, and Turn off MCP for external people.
Help		What's new, Documentation, Send feedback and Contact support.

The settings window on Workspace → People, with an invite field and three members. — Settings → People. Members can be invited as Editor, Admin or Viewer.

Note

Viewers are free and never take a seat. Editors need a paid seat on Pro or Max — on Free, only the owner edits. See Plans & usage.

Using your own fonts

Shippp may offer to Use my fonts. In Chrome and Edge this lets you design with fonts installed on your computer. The fonts stay on your machine — nothing is uploaded.
