Remix & rename

Remix & rename

There are two different things you can do with an existing prototype, and they’re easy to mix up: keep working on the same project (ship its next version), or fork it into a brand-new project that’s yours.

Fork into a new project you ownartor remixNew project, records where it came from
Change the display nameartor renameName only; URL and folder unchanged

You need a publisher seat, access to the source prototype, and the CLI installed. Run these commands from a linked project folder.

Remix: fork into a new project

artor remix acme-dashboard # prompts for a name artor remix acme-dashboard my-variant # name it directly artor remix acme-dashboard --ref 2 # fork from version 2

Remix creates the folder for you, downloads the source, and creates a new project with you as the owner. The fork is fully independent; publishing in the new folder never touches the original.

On the dashboard you’ll see a “Forked from acme-dashboard v3” line linking back to the exact version you started from.

Rename: change the display name

artor rename "New Name" # owner or org admin only artor rename acme-dashboard "Acme V2" # owner or org admin only

Rename changes only the display name. The URL and your local folder don’t move. Only the owner or an admin can rename.

Delete & recover

Deleting moves the prototype to Trash, where it is recoverable for 30 days before it’s permanently removed.

artor rm # owner or org admin only; asks to confirm artor rm acme-dashboard # owner or org admin only artor trash # list what's in the trash and how long each has left artor restore acme-dashboard # owner or org admin only

These actions require the prototype owner or an org admin with permission to edit its Space. The content stops being served immediately but isn’t gone. restore brings everything back.

You cannot publish to a trashed project — restore it first, so you never pile up versions that can’t serve.

In the dashboard, the ⋯ menu on each prototype offers the same actions: rename, disable, trash, and restore. Disabling and trashing always confirm, and trashing requires you to retype the prototype’s name before it goes through. Copy latest link is available to any member.
