# Projects

> Manage the individual applications that own providers, routing, environments, and traces.

A project is a single application. It owns its own [providers](/docs/deploy/concepts/providers), [routing](/docs/deploy/routing/overview), [environments](/docs/deploy/environments), and [traces](/docs/observe/traces) — so a project is the unit you point an SDK or the gateway at, and the unit traces and audit events are scoped to. Projects live inside a [workspace](/docs/platform/workspaces).

## Creating a project

Open **Settings → Projects** and choose **New project**. A project needs:

* **Workspace** — the active workspace it belongs to.
* **Name** — its display name (up to 120 characters).
* **Slug** — the lowercase, hyphenated identifier used in dashboard URLs (`/org/<org>/ws/<workspace>/prj/<project>/…`).

A handful of reserved words (such as `default`, `overview`, `traces`, `prompts`, and `settings`) can't be used as a slug, because they collide with dashboard routes. Creating a project requires the `project:create` permission in the target workspace.

<Note>
  A project's slug is fixed once it's created. You can rename a project later, but the slug stays the same so existing links and integrations keep working.
</Note>

## Managing a project

Each project row on the **Settings → Projects** page exposes its actions, gated by `project:update` (rename, archive) and `project:delete` (delete).

* **Rename** — changes the display name only; the slug is untouched.
* **Archive** — hides the project and makes its data inaccessible without deleting it. Archiving is reversible: restore the project to bring it back.
* **Delete** — permanent. The dialog summarizes what will be removed (traces, prompts, tools, API keys) and requires you to **type the project's name to confirm**.

<Warning>
  The default project in the default workspace can't be archived or deleted — its controls are hidden.
</Warning>

## Project settings

Configuring what a project *does* happens elsewhere in the dashboard:

* **Providers and routing** live under [Deploy](/docs/deploy/overview).
* **Environments** — the production and non-production targets a project deploys to — are managed under the project's **Settings → Environments**. See [Environments](/docs/deploy/environments).
