Cycle Ribbon

The Cycle Ribbon is a toolbar that contains buttons for the most commonly used functions in Cycle. The buttons displayed in the Ribbon change depending on what is open in the Cycle Editor workspace.

The Welcome Ribbon contains the three options available when Cycle is opened but no Cycle Project has been selected:

  • New Project - A new Project contains a structured set of files and directories to help you hit the ground running.
  • Open Project - Open a Project to continue working on the files it contains. To access and edit individual files, you must first open the Project that contains them.
