# Projects

Projects allow you to group your chats and workflows by specific topics or initiatives. You can keep projects private for personal organization or share them with your team to standardize processes.

### Create a Project
Click the **Plus (+)** icon in the sidebar. Give your project a clear name and select a recognizable icon to make it easy to find.

### Project Overview
Once created, you will land on the project home screen. This serves as the central hub for all configurations and activities within
this project.

### Set Custom Instructions
Define how the AI should behave within this project. These "System Instructions" provide context and rules for every
chat initiated here.

Tip: Not sure how to write the perfect instruction? Draft a rough idea,
and use the **Improve** feature to polish it automatically.

### Collaborate and Share
Share your project with specific colleagues or entire teams. When you share a project, members gain access to the **Tools**
(Instructions and Workflows), but **not your Data**.

Per member you set a role. The role controls what the person can do in the project:

| Role | Permissions |
| --- | --- |
| **Owner** | Full access: member management, edit instructions and workflows, delete the project |
| **Editor** | Create or edit instructions and workflows |
| **Member** | Run workflows and chat in the project |

**Privacy Note:** Shared members can use the project's instructions and
workflows, but they cannot see your personal chat history. Every user
maintains their own private chat list within the shared project.

### Start Chatting
You are all set! Start a new chat by typing a prompt or running a specific workflow.

Need to make changes later? Access the **Project Settings** at any time by
clicking the gear icon in the project header.

Workflows are always part of a project — you create them inside a project, and they run with its context (instructions, linked data). There are no workflows outside of a project. [Learn more about building workflows](/en/docs/platform/workflows).

Chats within the same project do **not** automatically share knowledge with each other — each chat stays independent. What chats in a project have in common are the project's system instructions and any linked data pools/connectors, not the content of other chats.

## Delete a project

In the **Danger Zone** of the project settings you'll find the **Delete Project** button – it's only visible to the project **Owner**. A confirmation dialog asks you to confirm; you don't have to type the project name.

**Deleting archives the project – it does not delete it immediately and irreversibly.** The project's chats are disconnected from it and remain as standalone chats, they are not deleted. The project's workflows are archived, not permanently removed. There is currently no way in the interface to restore the archived project itself. Let members know if they depend on the project.
