Project Files is the centralized asset management system for a project in Duio. It allows teams to upload, organize, and share files in a structured way, ensuring that important assets are easy to find and accessible to the right people.

This section explains how Project Files are organized and how teams typically use them during development.

Purpose of Project Files

Project Files are designed to:

  • Store and organize assets related to a project
