  3. Enter a name for your project
  4. Add an optional description to help collaborators understand the project’s purpose
  5. Choose a visibility setting:

📎 Add Files to Your Project

    • Google Drive to import from your connected Drive
    • Add from Files to link files or folders already in your organization’s file library
  4. Select the files you want to add
You can also drag and drop files directly onto the project page. All files you add are available to every chat in the project.

​
➡️ Move an Existing Chat into a Project

  1. Open the chat you want to move
  2. Click the chat menu (three dots)
  3. Select Add to project or Move to project
  4. Choose the destination project
You can also drag chats from the left sidebar into the Previous chats section on the project page.

A chat can belong to one project at a time.

​
💬 Start a Chat in Your Project

  1. Open your project
  2. Type your message in the chat input at the top of the project’s chat list
  3. Press Enter to start the conversation
The new chat automatically has access to all project files and custom instructions.

​
✏️ Set Custom Instructions

  1. Open your project
  2. In the Instructions section on the right sidebar, click to edit
  3. Enter instructions that should apply to every chat in the project
Custom instructions are useful for matter-specific context, preferred output formats, or standing directions. You need Edit access (or be the project owner) to edit instructions.

​
👥 Share Your Project

  1. Open your project
  2. Click the Share button in the project header
  3. Add team members by name or email
  4. Assign each member an access level:
    • View to view the project and use AI with its context
    • Edit to add and edit chats, files, and instructions
  5. Toggle between Private and Organization visibility if needed
The Share dialog only lets you grant View or Edit to members. Sharing, managing members, changing visibility, and deleting a project require Admin access. As the creator you have Admin access by default and appear as the Owner.

​
⭐ Star a Project

Click the star icon on any project to pin it to the top of your project list. Starred projects appear in a dedicated section for quick access.

​
🔗 Link a Folder

  1. Open your project
  2. In the Files section, click Add

​
🗑️ Delete a Project

  1. Open your project
  2. Click the project menu in the header
  3. Select Delete
  4. Confirm the deletion
Deleting a project unlinks all chats and files. The underlying content is not deleted. Deleting requires Admin access, which the creator has by default. For a full description of project features and access levels, see the Projects reference.
