Project Membership

Understanding Your Projects

When you open LangQuest, you'll see "My Projects" - these are the projects that you've created. You can create new projects at any time:

Unstructured projects - Projects without chapter and verse segmenters or structure (like folktales, poems, stories)
Bible content projects - Projects with structured content (books and chapters, like the Bible)

Inviting Members to Your Projects

To invite others to help you with your quests open your project:

Select the three-dot menu in the bottom right corner of your project

Select the members icon

Step 2: Invite by Email

You can invite other members according to the email they used for signing up for LangQuest.

⚠️ Important: It can't just be any email you have for that person - it has to be the email they used when they signed up for LangQuest.

Step 3: Choose Member Role

When inviting, you can:

Invite as a regular member - Can contribute to the project
Invite as owner - Owners can create content, invite and promote other members, and cannot be demoted back to membership or removed from a project by other members

Transferring Ownership

Once you have other members, you can transfer ownership - that's the little king icon. Transferring ownership gives them admin and other authority over the project.

Requesting Membership in Public Projects

Viewing Public Projects

Go to "All Projects" in LangQuest
Scroll through the public projects available
Select a project that interests you

How to Request Membership

To request membership in a public project:

Open the project you're interested in
Select the three-dot menu in the bottom right corner
Go into the members section
Request membership

This will send an email to the owner of the project, which they can review and accept or reject your membership request.

Managing Membership Requests (For Project Owners)

When someone requests to join your project:

You'll receive an email notification
Review the request - see who wants to join your project
Accept or reject the membership request
Accepted members gain immediate access to contribute to the project

Note: LangQuest works offline. Members can continue working with their local data even without an internet connection. Syncing happens automatically when connectivity returns, and sessions persist even if authentication tokens expire while offline.

Viewing Project Members

To see who's in a project:

Open the project
Select the three-dot menu in the bottom right corner
Tap the members icon
See all members - owners (with the king icon) and regular members are listed

Only owners can invite new members to the project.

Summary

That's the basics of project membership in LangQuest:

For Project Owners:

Create your projects (unstructured or Bible)
Publish to the cloud using the cloud icon to create permanent copies
Invite members via the three-dot menu → members icon → invite by email
Choose their role - regular member or owner
Transfer ownership if needed using the king icon
Manage requests - accept or reject membership requests from others

For Members:

Browse public projects in the "All Projects" section
Request membership via the three-dot menu → members section
Wait for approval - the owner will receive an email and can accept or reject your request
Start contributing once approved

Remember: You must use the email address that the person signed up with when inviting members - it can't just be any email you have for them.
