Projects are available for users on Claude for Work and Claude Pro plans.
Creating a Project
Navigate to the projects section (accessible when hovering over the left side of your account).

Give your project a name and description (note that Claude will not have access to these details).
If you are on a Claude for Work plan, choose the visibility settings:

Keep it private (Only invited members can view and use this project).
Once your project is set up, you can initiate chats with Claude.
Project Knowledge
You'll find the project knowledge base on the right side of your project's main page. Anything you upload to this space will be used across all of your chats within that project.
To add content to your project knowledge base:
Click on the "Add Content" button.
Upload relevant documents, text files, or code snippets.
Claude will process this information and use it as context in your chats within the project.
To add custom instructions to your project knowledge base:
Click on “Set Custom Instructions”
Add instructions for how you’d like Claude to behave and respond
Claude will use these instructions for all chats within your project.
Note: Context is not shared across chats within a project unless the information is added into the project knowledge base.

Open the relevant project.
Click on the star icon in the upper right corner.
The project will now appear in your starred items in the left side panel of your account.
