Projects are currently available for users on paid Claude plans.
How to create a project
Hover over the left side of your account and click “Projects,” or navigate directly to this section: claude.ai/projects.
Click "+ New Project" in the upper right corner.
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 (Team or Enterprise) plan, choose the visibility settings:
Keep it private: Only you and members you invite can view or use this project.
Share with your broader organization: Everyone in your organization can view and use this project (where enabled by administrators).
Once your project is set up, you can initiate chats with Claude within the project.
Adding content to 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 "+" button to add content to the project.
Upload relevant documents, text files, or code snippets.
Claude will process this information and use it as context in your chats within the project.
When your project knowledge approaches the context window limit, Claude will automatically enable RAG mode to expand your project's capacity.
To add project instructions to your project knowledge base
Click on "Set project instructions."
Add instructions for how you'd like Claude to behave and respond and click "Save instructions."
Claude will use these instructions for all the chats within the project.
Note: Context is not shared across chats within a project unless the information is added into the project knowledge base.
Sharing projects
If you are a member of a Claude for Work (Team or Enterprise plan) organization, you can share projects with other members of your organization.
To share a project
Open the project you want to share.
Click the "Share project" button to the right of the project name.
Add individual members using their name or email address, or copy and paste a list of email addresses for bulk sharing.
Select the appropriate permission level for each member:
Can use: Members can see project contents, knowledge, and instructions, and chat within the project, but cannot edit it.
Can edit: Members can modify project instructions and knowledge, update member settings, and actively contribute to the project.
Click "Share" to send invitations.
Managing shared project access
To change permissions: Open the sharing menu and select a new role for the member.
To view who has access: The sharing menu shows all current members and their permission levels.
To remove access: The project creator can click on the member's current role and select "Remove access."
Finding shared projects
Projects that others have shared with you will appear in the "Shared with me" tab on your Projects page. You'll also receive an email notification when someone shares a project with you.
Starring projects for quick access
Starring a project allows for quick access from your projects and chats list, visible when hovering over the left side of your account. You can star a project from two different areas:
From the “Projects” page
Locate the project on the “Projects” page.
Click on the three dots ("..." button) on the upper right corner of the project.
Select "Star" from the menu that appears.

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.
How to archive projects
Archiving is a way to organize your projects and declutter your project list. It's particularly useful for completed projects or those you're not actively working on but may need to reference in the future.
Important: When a project is archived, all sharing permissions are reset to private and previous sharing context is wiped for security purposes.
Here's what you need to know about archiving:
Archived projects will appear at the bottom of your main projects list.
You can still access conversations from archived projects.
There is no way to delete archived projects at this time (you must unarchive it first).
To archive a project, follow these steps
Navigate to the project you want to archive.
Click on the three dots ("..." button) in the upper right corner.
