Creating Your Own Project
We'll begin this project by opening a new diagram in Inspiration. We'll learn how to add idea symbols to our diagram, and how to manipulate those symbols, and the links between symbols, to visually represent the order in which tasks need to be completed, or how they are related to one another. We can even add a checklist to our diagram for keeping track of completed tasks.
