Symptoms:
- I have received an email stating you've been invited to join a Unity project. However, I do not see a link to access the project and / or I cannot find it in the Unity Hub.
Cause:
Within Unity, project invites come in two distinct forms:
- An invitation through Unity Cloud. This permits the syncing of the project to Gaming Services such as Analytics, Monetization, and Multiplayer, but does not facilitate access to the project's actual content.
- An invitation via Unity DevOps Version Control. This method provides full access to project data, enabling collaboration on the project.
Confusion may arise when an email inviting you to join a project is thought to provide full project content access.
Resolution:
To gain access to the project's data and collaborate on development, the project needs to be uploaded to Unity Version Control, and you need to receive an invite via DevOps.
DevOps is an engine-agnostic version control and source code management tool ideal for game development. It enables efficient collaboration, change tracking, version rollbacks, and more. In addition, you and two other team members (three seats in total) can use up to 5GB of repository space for free in your organization.
To start using DevOps, check out our documentation on sharing and collaborating on projects "Get Started with Unity Version Control".
For pricing details, you can refer to the Unity DevOps pricing page.
More information:
Note that an invite through Unity Cloud is solely for project syncing with Unity Gaming Services, not for accessing project content. Understanding both types of invitations will streamline your Unity collaboration experience.
