This video provides a comprehensive overview of the conceptual and practical aspects of project organization in WorkLink Create, focusing on the default state and step templates to enhance efficiency and streamline the authoring process. This module focuses on the following:

1. Introduction:

   • Overview of the eighth module in the virtual WorkLink Create training, focusing on project organization as a bridge between content preparation and authoring phases.

2. Default State:

   • Definition of the default state as the stage for a sequence in WorkLink Create.
   • Advantages of using the default state, including improved load times and performance.
   • Explanation of how changes made in the default state propagate across all subsequent steps in a sequence.

3. Advantages of Default State:

   • Improved app performance by loading only the differences between the default state and subsequent steps.
   • Automatic propagation of changes made in the default state to all relevant steps, saving time and preventing overwriting of existing work.
   • Best practice recommendation to set up the default state at the beginning of the project.

4. Step Templates:

   • Introduction to step templates, which involve two-dimensional UI elements.
   • Similar to the default state, changes made to step templates propagate across all steps using that template.
   • Support for variables in templates, such as step number and step total, for automatic updates.

5. Project Setup Best Practices:

   • Emphasis on the importance of using the default state throughout the project.
   • Best practices for dragging CAD from the asset library, ensuring it is used in the default state.
   • Conceptual understanding of step templates and how they contribute to project efficiency.

6. Practical Demonstration:

   • Transition to practical applications in WorkLink Create to illustrate the setup of the default state and step templates.
   • Demonstrating the seamless process of project organization within the WorkLink Create platform.

7. Conclusion:

   • Recap of key concepts related to project organization, default state, and step templates.
   • Setting the stage for smoother and faster project authoring through effective organization.

8. Next Steps:

   • Concluding the module and hinting at the topics to be covered in subsequent sections of the training.
