How do I change or delete a project?

Each project has a settings window where you change how it is set up. The same window has the Delete project button. These steps show both.

Change a project's settings

On the web app:

1. Open the project from Projects in the sidebar.
2. Click Settings at the top right of the project page.
3. Change what you need: Name, Description, Project instructions, Who can see this project (in a shared workspace only), or Integrations and connectors.
4. Click Save.

On the phone app:

1. Open the project from Projects on Home.
2. Tap the sliders button at the top right of the project page. Its label is Project settings.
3. Change what you need, then tap Save.

A project name must be unique in its workspace, and capital letters do not count, so a second project cannot be called the same as an existing one. A name can be up to 120 characters, a description up to 2,000, and project instructions up to 8,000.

For what visibility means and what happens to items when it changes, see Who can see a project?. For the integrations and connectors choice, see What is a project?.

Who can change a project

• The person who created the project can change all of its settings.
• A project shared with everyone in the workspace can also be changed by the workspace owner and admins. They cannot change who can see it.
• A project only you can see can be changed only by you.
• A team member without a paid seat can see projects but cannot change or delete them. See What can a member without a seat do?

If you cannot change a project, the Settings button is not shown on the web. On the phone, the settings button is not shown either.

Delete a project

On the web app:

1. Open the project and click Settings.
2. In the footer of the Project settings window, click Delete project.
3. In the Delete “Project name”? box, click Delete project again to confirm. To keep the project, click Keep project instead.

On the phone app:

1. Open the project and tap the sliders button at the top right.
2. Scroll to the Delete section at the bottom and tap Delete project.
3. Tap Delete project in the alert to confirm. To keep the project, tap Keep project.

After you delete a project on the web, you go back to the Projects list. On the phone, you go back to Home.

What happens to your work

Deleting a project does not delete its chats, files or tasks.

• Chats, files and tasks are kept. They leave the project and become ungrouped, so they show outside any project. Each keeps the visibility it has at that moment. A chat stops being pinned inside the project.
• Items that followed the project's visibility stop following it. From then on they keep their own visibility, and changing the project no longer changes them.
• Memories saved in the project are hidden. They no longer show on the Memory page, no chat can use them, and nobody can edit them. The exception is a memory a teammate saved privately in the project: it leaves the project and stays theirs, and they can still see and change it. See What does Bluedeer remember, and how do I edit or delete it?
• The project's instructions and its list of integrations and connectors stop applying. The project no longer exists to hold them.
• The name becomes available again. You can create a new project with the same name.

The app has no button to bring back a deleted project. If you are not sure, change the project's name or settings instead. Nothing else is lost that way.
