Every Fusion project lives inside a Hub, making the Hub the foundation for organizing design, engineering, manufacturing, and electronics work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you&#8217;re a solo designer or part of a larger organization, your Hub acts as the shared environment that keeps files, revisions, people, and workflows connected. Once configured correctly, it becomes the single source of truth for your product data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"what-is-the-difference-between-a-fusion-hub-and-a-fusion-project\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is the difference between a Fusion Hub and a Fusion Project?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Many new users confuse Hubs and Projects.<\/p>\n\n\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><figure class=\"wp-block-table MuiTableContainer-root\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout MuiTable-root DhigTable--verticalAlignment--top\"><tbody><tr class=\" MuiTableRow-root\"><th>Fusion Hub<\/th><th>Fusion Project<\/th><\/tr><tr class=\" MuiTableRow-root\"><td class=\" MuiTableCell-root\">Top-level collaboration environment<\/td><td class=\" MuiTableCell-root\">Workspace within a Hub<\/td><\/tr><tr class=\" MuiTableRow-root\"><td class=\" MuiTableCell-root\">Contains users, permissions, and projects<\/td><td class=\" MuiTableCell-root\">Contains designs, drawings, manufacturing files, and documentation<\/td><\/tr><tr class=\" MuiTableRow-root\"><td class=\" MuiTableCell-root\">Used to organize teams and access<\/td><td class=\" MuiTableCell-root\">Used to organize work related to a specific product or initiative<\/td><\/tr><tr class=\" MuiTableRow-root\"><td class=\" MuiTableCell-root\">Typically created once per organization or team<\/td><td class=\" MuiTableCell-root\">Multiple projects can exist within a single Hub<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Think of a Hub as your organization&#8217;s digital workspace and Projects as the folders where actual design and manufacturing work happens.<\/p>\n\n\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Build Your Autodesk Fusion Hub: Onboarding Team Members Made Simple!\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/e0o-3ronoXM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer;

Organizations often organize work by creating separate projects rather than maintaining multiple Hubs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"can-multiple-teams-work-in-the-same-fusion-hub\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can multiple teams work in the same Fusion hub?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes.

Instead, start with a manageable project hierarchy and expand as needed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Skip permission planning<\/strong>: Adding everyone with the same level of access can create governance challenges later. Define access requirements before inviting large teams.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Using personal workspaces for team projects<\/strong>: Shared work should remain inside team-managed projects to improve visibility and reduce data silos.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Inconsistent naming conventions<\/strong>: Projects, folders, and files should follow consistent naming standards to simplify search and management.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Waiting to move existing data<\/strong>: The sooner your team starts working inside Fusion projects, the faster collaboration benefits become visible.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"troubleshooting-fusion-hub-setup-issues\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Troubleshooting Fusion hub setup issues<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"i-cant-find-my-hub\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">I can&#8217;t find my hub<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Verify that you&#8217;re signed in with the correct Autodesk account and have been granted access to the Hub.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"team-members-cannot-access-a-project\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Team members cannot access a project<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Check:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>User invitations<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Project membership<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Assigned permissions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Autodesk account status<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"imported-files-are-missing\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Imported files are missing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Confirm files successfully uploaded and verify that you&#8217;re viewing the correct project location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"users-can-view-files-but-cant-edit-them\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Users can view files but can&#8217;t edit them<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is typically permission-related.

To ensure effective collaboration and avoid data ownership issues, it&#8217;s essential to guide your team through the right steps. By inviting users to join your Fusion Hub before assigning subscriptions, you create a centralized location for collaboration. This not only prevents the creation of multiple Hubs but also safeguards against unintentional data ownership by individual users.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"next-steps\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Next Steps<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Ready to start collaborating in Fusion?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 1:<\/strong> Create your Fusion Hub<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 2:<\/strong> Import your first project<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 3:<\/strong> Invite collaborators<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 4:<\/strong> Explore version management and design review workflows<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 5:<\/strong> Start a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/free-trial\">free 30-day Autodesk Fusion trial<\/a> and experience connected product development firsthand<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"frequently-asked-questions-about-fusion-hubs\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Frequently asked questions about Fusion hubs<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"is-style-faq-accordion\">\n        <details id='faq-question-1782840154636' class='details'>\n        <summary>\n            <span class=\"details__summary\">\n                <span class=\"details__summary-text\">\n                    What is an Autodesk Fusion hub?\n                <\/span>\n                <svg class=\"details__caret\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" hidden>\n                    <path stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" stroke-width=\"1.5\" d=\"m18 9.5-6 6-6-6\"\/>\n                <\/svg>\n            <\/span>\n        <\/summary>\n        <div class=\"details__content\">\n            <div class='is-style-faq-accordion__body'>\n            A Fusion hub is the central workspace where organizations store projects, manage access, and collaborate on product development data.\n        <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/details>    <details id='faq-question-1782840173091' class='details'>\n        <summary>\n            <span class=\"details__summary\">\n                <span class=\"details__summary-text\">\n                    Do I need a Fusion hub to use Fusion?\n                <\/span>\n                <svg class=\"details__caret\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" hidden>\n                    <path stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" stroke-width=\"1.5\" d=\"m18 9.5-6 6-6-6\"\/>\n                <\/svg>\n            <\/span>\n        <\/summary>\n        <div class=\"details__content\">\n            <div class='is-style-faq-accordion__body'>\n            Yes.
