Projects

A project groups related work for a target, experiment, or paper inside one workspace. Assignment is optional: a resource can belong to one project at a time or remain in No project.

Create a project

Owners, admins, and members can create projects. Viewers can read existing projects.

1. Open Projects in the workspace you want to use.
2. Select Create project.
3. Enter a Name, such as Kinase screening, and an optional Description.
4. Select Create project to save it.

To change the name or description later, open the project's actions menu and select Edit project.

Project contents

Open a project to see its resource counts and links to filtered workspace views:

• Results: Tool jobs and their outputs.
• Files: Uploaded files and saved job outputs.
• Workflows: Reusable analysis definitions.
• Runs and batch: Workflow and batch executions.
• Studio: Interactive research sessions.
• Conversations: AI Assistant conversations.

Projects use workspace membership and permissions. They do not have separate members, credit balances, or storage allowances. Moving work between projects does not move it to another workspace.

Assign new work

On a project page, select Start job to choose a tool or Browse files to open its file view. These actions carry the project's selection into the next page.

Submission, upload, and creation forms include an optional project selector. Check it before creating the resource, and change it or choose No project if needed.

Related work receives a project assignment when it is created:

• Workflow runs: Default to the workflow's project.
• Jobs in workflow or batch runs: Use the run's project.
• Jobs started from Studio: Use the Studio session's project.
• Files saved from a job: Default to the job's project.

Changing an assignment later does not move previously created work. For example, moving a workflow changes the default for future runs; existing runs keep their current project.

Move existing work

Use Move to project from a supported resource's actions menu. To move several items together, select them first and use the bulk action.

1. Select the destination project, or No project to remove the assignment.
2. For jobs, review Move linked saved files. It is selected by default; clear it to leave those files in their current projects.
3. Select Move.

The destination must be in the same workspace. Moving a file does not move the job that created it.

Projects and collections

Use these for different kinds of organization:

• Project: Groups jobs, files, workflows, and other research resources. Each resource has at most one project.
• Collection: Groups saved files for reuse. A file can belong to several collections without being duplicated.

Collections belong to the workspace and can include files from different projects. They do not belong to a project themselves.

Delete a project

Owners and admins can delete projects. Open the project's actions menu and select Delete project, then choose what happens to its contents:

• Keep everything without a project: Delete the project and keep its resources in the workspace as No project.
• Move everything to another project: Reassign its resources to another project in the same workspace, then delete the original project.
• Delete the project and its contents: Permanently delete the project and its assigned resources. This option requires you to type the project name.

Review the resource counts before confirming. Active jobs and runs must finish or be cancelled first. If workflow history has been moved to another project, the dialog may ask you to resolve those assignments or choose to move or unassign the contents.

Deletion may continue in the background after you close the dialog. If it fails, the project shows Project deletion needs attention with a Retry deletion action.
