Key Concepts

​

Overview

This page is a starting point for the major concepts you will see across Davinci. Each section links to the deeper docs for that topic.

​

Davinci Browser

The Davinci Browser is the first place most users land in the Davinci app. It helps you find projects, open project pages, manage organizations and teams, update your account, respond to notifications, and review access or usage settings. Start with:

• Browser Overview
• Browser Navigation
• Projects

​

Davinci Editor

The Davinci Editor opens from a project page and is where engineering work happens. It includes the model index, workspace tabs, project settings, files and references, collaboration tools, Agent workflows, reviews, integrations, and exports. Start with:

• Editor Overview
• Model Area
• Modeling Basics

​

Projects

A project is the main workspace for an engineering effort. Projects contain a model, uploaded files, configuration, collaborators, snapshots, branches, and settings. Projects can be owned by a user or an organization. Ownership controls where project limits, storage, access, and administrative controls are managed. See Roles And Permissions for visibility and access behavior.

​

Models And Objects

A model is made of objects. Objects represent engineering information such as parts, requirements, actions, attributes, constraints, documents, tables, references, and risks. Objects can own child objects, link to each other with relationships, and appear in multiple views depending on their type.

​

Files And References

Files and references bring source material into the model. They can represent PDFs, images, documents, spreadsheets, data files, and other uploaded material. Davinci uses references to keep generated content grounded in source material and to make traceability visible across the model.

​

Davinci Agent

The Davinci Agent is the AI assistant inside the Editor. It can inspect project context, use model tools, update objects, work from reference files, and help review a project. The Agent is powerful, but model changes should still be reviewed by users. Use checkpoints, tool results, and Model Review workflows to inspect important changes.

​

Organizations And Teams

Organizations and teams help manage ownership, access, projects, members, usage, and administrative controls. Use organizations when project ownership should belong to a group instead of an individual user. Use teams when users, organizations, usage, and governance need to be managed centrally.

​

Integrations

Integrations connect Davinci to external tools and services.

​

Developer API

The Davinci API and SDKs let scripts, CI jobs, reporting tools, and AI systems inspect Davinci project data.
