# How FluxNative works

The few words the product uses, from organization to release, and what happens during one turn of the assistant.

![Six cards joined by arrows: Organization, Project, Turn, Revision, Build and Release](https://fluxnative.app/guide-media/how-it-works.1071f94a.webp)

An organization owns projects; each turn lands as a revision; a build goes through review as a release.

## The words

| Word | Means |
| --- | --- |
| **Organization** | Owns apps, credits, the plan, members and store accounts. |
| **Project** | One app: source, preview, chats, connections and builds. |
| **Turn** | One request and the assistant's work on it. |
| **Revision** | A saved state of the source. Each turn that writes files is one. |
| **Build** | A signed APK, App Bundle (AAB) or IPA. |
| **Release** | A build sent to TestFlight or Google Play, through review to the public. |

## One turn

1. You send a message, with images or files if you like.
2. The assistant plans, writes the screens and services, then compiles the preview and tests it in a browser of its own. Your preview follows along until you click it.
3. It may stop to ask you a question. Answer in the chat and it continues.
4. Its changes land as one revision you can undo. Suggested next steps appear as chips; picking one fills the message box without sending it. A chip to connect a backend or RevenueCat opens **Server** on its form instead: only you can enter the credentials, so it never starts a paid turn.

## Good to know

- Everything reads one source: the preview, **Design**, **Code**, builds and the exported project. There is one `.env`, no separate production config.
- Credits belong to the organization. Generation spends them; a native build spends them only when it succeeds; forking a template spends none. See [Credits and plans](https://fluxnative.app/docs/credits-and-plans).
- Roles decide who can build, connect, publish and pay. See [Organizations and roles](https://fluxnative.app/docs/organizations).
