Toolbar Reference
This page documents every action in the top toolbar of Roof Layout Studio, from left to right.
Project actions
New project
Icon: file-plus.
Starts a new project. If another project is open, a confirmation dialog appears asking whether to reset the current workspace.
- Saved work: auto-saved before reset — the current project is preserved on the server.
- Unsaved work: lost if confirmation is accepted without saving first.
Save project
Icon: save.
Saves the current project to the server. Updates the timestamp on the Open project list.
INFO
The editor also auto-saves in the background at regular intervals. Manual save is useful to mark an explicit checkpoint.
Open project
Icon: folder-open.
Opens a dialog with all saved projects. Each row shows:
- project name
- address (if set in project info)
- last modified date
- status (new / in progress / completed)
Click a project row to open it. The current workspace is replaced — confirm the reset if prompted.
Project metadata
Project information
Icon: info-circle.
Opens the Project Information modal where you set:
- project name
- address
- prepared-by name
- other optional fields
Project information appears in the generated report.
See: Project Information.
Status
Status indicator and dropdown
Shows the current project status and lets you change it:
- New — the default state after creation
- In progress — active work
- Completed — ready for delivery
Click the status badge to open the dropdown. Select a new status — the status indicator updates and the timestamp is recorded.
Report actions
Generate report
Icon: file-export.
Starts the report wizard. The app validates the project (scale set, pitch and edges assigned) and generates a PDF. The wizard walks through a couple of confirmation steps before producing the PDF.
See: Report.

Appears only when a report has been generated. Opens the last generated PDF.

Clicking a mode icon opens the corresponding panel on the right side of the screen.
