# Projects

> Create a project, choose what it covers, and share it with your team.

## Create a project

<Steps>
  <Step title="Start">
    Click **New project** on the welcome screen, the **+** next to **PROJECTS** in the rail, or **+** → **Project** in the top bar.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Details">
    Enter a **Project name** (for example, *Midland 2026 Deal*), an optional **Description**, and an **Accent color**. Click **Continue**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Scope">
    Choose what the project covers:

    * **Areas**: draw areas on the map, or add counties, basins or districts.
    * **Operators**: the operators you're tracking.
    * **Leases**: a list of leases.

    A project covers **operators or leases, not both**. Areas can be added to either.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Build my brief">
    QuickScout scans recent activity in your scope and writes your first [daily brief](/enterprise/home#daily-brief). When it's ready, the project opens.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Tip>
  You can also start a project from the map: tick leases in the [Leases table](/maps/data-panel) and choose **New project from these**.
</Tip>

## Switch projects

Use the project selector at the left of the scope strip, the **PROJECTS** list in the rail, or <kbd>Ctrl</kbd> <kbd>⇧</kbd> <kbd>0</kbd> to go back to the picker.

On the welcome screen, press <kbd>P</kbd> to pin a project to the top. On the **Manage projects** page, **Assign Ctrl+Shift+N** gives a project a keyboard shortcut.

## Edit a project

Open the project selector and choose **Edit project**, or click **Manage coverage** on the scope strip. You can:

* Change the **Name**, **Description** and **COLOUR**.
* Add or remove areas, operators and leases under **WHAT THIS PROJECT COVERS**.
* Turn on **Show only this project's wells** to hide every other well on the map.

## Share with your team

In **Edit project**, tick **Share with ‹your organization›**. Everyone in your organization can then open it. Only the project's owner and organization admins see this option.

People you share with may have read-only access. They'll see *You have read-only access to this project.*

## Delete a project

On **Manage projects**, click **Delete project**. If it's the project you have open, you'll be asked which project to switch to.
