There are 3 ways to add a file to a project in Déjà Vu. You can add files to a project during the creation of the project, or by using the Project Explorer or the Advanced Project Explorer.
Add files to project during project creation
You can add files to a project in the appropriate page of the Project Creation Wizard. The files will be added to the project and their text will be imported into the project automatically once the wizard has been completed.
Add files to project using the Project Explorer
You can use the Project Explorer to add files to an existing project. To see how, click on the version of Déjà Vu you are using, below:
Add files to project using the Advanced Project Explorer
Déjà Vu also allows you to use the Advanced Project Explorer, which is similar to the Project Explorer but more powerful. It is easier to use when you have to maintain projects that have many files, for example.

To bring up the Advanced Project Explorer access the menu option View>Advanced Project Explorer. You will see something like this:
Occupying most of the Déjà Vu X2 main window is the Advanced Project Explorer. At the top right-hand side of the main window is the Project Explorer, which remains visible while you are working on a project. The Advanced Project Explorer is divided into 4 sections. The sections are as follows:
- This section shows a folder tree, which shows you the folders available of your computer.
- This section shows you the files that currently exist inside the folder selected in section 1 of the Advanced Project Explorer.
- This section shows a folder tree showing the internal structure of the project. You can create folders inside the project to help you organize documents. This structure will be maintained when you export the finished translations.
- Section 4 shows you the files that currently exist inside the folder selected in section 3, within your project.
Thus, the upper part of the Advanced Project Explorer shows you the files on your computer, while the bottom part shows you to files in your project. You can add files to the project by navigating to the folder where they are found in section 1, then selecting them in section 2 and dragging them to section 4. This will add the files to the internal structure, though it will not import the text contained in those files. To do that, you must select the files you want to import in section 4, right-click on them and select the option Import in the menu that pops up.
To bring up the Advanced Project Explorer open the Project section of the Ribbon, in the Files subsection, click Advanced Project Explorer. You will see something like this:
