A source is a file, folder, website, cloud item, document or Portfolio company that a project uses. Sources stay where they are. The Sources tab shows what each one is and whether it can be reached.

A source is something a project uses. Adding a source does not copy or move it. The files stay where they are, and the project keeps a link.
The Sources tab
Each source shows its name, where it is, how it was added, what Haruno may do with it and whether it can be reached.
Each row shows:
the name, and below it the place it comes from (a path or an address);
Linked sources, Used by project or Generated documents, which says how it came into the project;
Read only, Can edit or Metadata only, which says what Haruno may do with it;
its state when it is not available: Missing, Offline, Permission required or Disconnected.
The search box and the drop-down above the list narrow it down. The drop-down offers All sources, Linked sources, Used by project and Generated documents.

What it means

It is at the top right of the project page. It is switched off while the project is archived.

Four kinds of source.
Finish the choice
The page opens on Sources and says Source added.
Kind
What you do
Choose file or Choose folder
Pick an Access level, Read only or Read and write, then select Choose on this device and pick the file or folder in the Windows picker.
Website
Type the Website URL and, if you like, a Name. Websites are always read only.
Cloud item
Pick a connection, browse its folders and select Link item. Cloud items are always read only. Manage connections opens the connection settings. If no connection supports project sources, the dialog says No connected provider supports project sources yet.
Read and write lets Haruno change the folder
Choose Read and write only when Haruno should change files in that folder. The dialog says: "Allow edits only if Haruno should change this linked file or folder." Read only is the default.
What you can do with a source
Select a source's name to see its details: where it is, how it was added, what Haruno may do with it, and its state. Generated documents also list their Saved versions, and each can be opened.
The button beside a source depends on its state:
Button
When
Open
The source is available.
Relink
A file or folder on the PC is Missing. Pick it again.
Unlink. The source leaves the project. Earlier activity and what the project learned from it are kept.
Forget from project. Haruno asks first. The notice says "Forget removes collected material and generated memory. Existing chat messages remain."
A source you forgot cannot be added to the same project again. The page says so and suggests adding it to another project or attaching it to a chat outside a project.
Other source kinds
Document is something Haruno wrote for the project. It is kept with the project and listed under Generated documents.
