A project card showing the poster, stage bar and next step — A card shows the poster, format, last edit, the stage bar and the next step.

Poster: the approved frame or the newest image of the project, with the aspect ratio and frame rate.
Awaiting approval (pulsing): a checkpoint is waiting for you. N jobs running: generation is in progress.
Type badge (Commercial, Music video, Freeform, or S1 E2 for an episode) and when it was last edited.
Stage bar: one segment per stage (Script, Cast, Boards, Animatic, Render plan, Generation, Cut, Deliver; commercials also have Sound). Green is done, the accent segment is the current stage.
Next step: for example “Boards · Next: Approve the boards”. Click the card to open the tab where that step happens.

The … menu on a card has Open, Rename…, Copy link and Archive. Names are unique among your active projects (ignoring case).
