Projects are currently available for users on paid Claude plans.
How to create a project
Navigate to the Projects section (accessible when hovering over the left side of your account).
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:
Share with your broader organization (Everyone in your organization can view and use this project).
Keep it private (Only invited members can view and use this project).
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.
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 chat.
Select "Star" from the menu that appears.
From the 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.
