Project Name
For the Home screen, it welcomes you with your first name, as in “Welcome, Inspired Squirrel.” 

In the Canvas and Prepare screens, the project name is shown. If it is a new file, it will say “Untitled.” If there is an asterisk (*) at the end of the name, that is a dirty file indicator, meaning that there are changes made to the file that aren’t saved.
