- [Instructor] Microsoft Project has a wide variety of helpful tools. In order to get the most out of these tools, you need to know what they are and where to find them. In this lesson, I'll show you how to locate key features within Microsoft Project. I'll start from Office.com, select the App Launcher in the top left corner, and open Project. Note that using Projects of the web requires an active subscription to Microsoft Project. The Project homepage is where you'll find all the Microsoft Projects you have access to. At the top, there's a new blank Project button. I can also see two main sections on the homepage: Favorites and Recent. Favorites has all the projects I've tagged as important. I'm currently working on the August Wedding project. I can mark this project as a favorite by hovering over the project and selecting Mark Favorite. As I complete projects, I can un-favorite them by selecting More Options and choosing Remove From Favorites. The Recent panel contains the projects you've opened most recently. When I need to look back on previous projects, Recent helps me find them quickly. As you work with Projects, team members may share their projects with you. You can see shared projects by selecting the Shared With Me tab. Finally, if you want to narrow your search to see just the projects you've created, filter by selecting the Created By Me tab. Now only the projects I've created are displayed. I encourage you to explore the Project interface before creating your first project. You'll be comfortable with this Project management tool in no time.
