===== MIStudio Project Structure =====

This page explains the basic structure shown in the MIStudio project tree.

==== Overview ====

MIStudio uses a project tree to organize the main parts of a project. The project tree helps users find project files, images, drivers, targets, components, and applications.

Understanding the project tree makes it easier to navigate MIStudio and understand where project resources are organized.

//MIStudio project tree showing common project sections such as User Files, Images, Drivers, Targets, Components, and Applications.//

==== Project ====

A project is the main container for an MIStudio system.

In the project tree, the project appears at the top level. The sections under the project organize the files, resources, configuration, components, and applications used by the project.

==== User Files ====

The User Files section is used to organize project-related files that are included with or used by the project.

These files may support the project but are separate from the main application screens.

==== Images ====

The Images section is used to organize image resources for the project.

Images can be used by graphics, buttons, displays, or other visual parts of an application when supported by the selected graphic.

==== Drivers ====

The Drivers section is used to organize driver-related project configuration.

Drivers are part of how an MIStudio project can communicate with external systems or data sources, depending on the project setup.

==== Targets ====

The Targets section is used to organize deployment or runtime targets for the project.

Targets help define where or how the project may be deployed or run, depending on the system configuration.

==== Components ====

The Components section is used to organize reusable project components.

Components can help organize project pieces that may be reused or managed separately from a single application screen.

==== Applications ====

The Applications section contains the applications inside the project.

An application is where screens, graphics, controls, and related application behavior are built. A project may contain one application or multiple applications, depending on how the system is organized.

Visual content is created in the [[mistudio:design_editor:start|MIStudio Design Editor]], while data sources, connections, and application logic can be configured in the [[mistudio:logic_editor:start|MIStudio Logic Editor]].

==== How Users Experience the Structure ====

Users usually work inside a project by opening applications and working with the graphics, controls, displays, data sources, and logic inside those applications.

The project tree organizes the supporting parts of the project so users can find resources, applications, and configuration sections more easily.
