How to Configure Project Settings
After creating a project, you can configure its settings to match your needs. This guide covers all available project settings.
Prerequisites
Before you begin:
- You must have an existing project
- You need edit permissions for the project (owner or team member)
Steps
Step 1: Open Your Project
Navigate to Projects in the sidebar, then click on the project you want to configure.
Step 2: Access Settings
Look for the Settings tab or gear icon in the project navigation. Click it to open the settings panel.
Step 3: Update Basic Information
In the General section, you can modify:
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | Change the project's display name |
| Slug | Update the URL-friendly identifier |
| Description | Edit the project summary |
| Client | Associate with a different client |
Step 4: Configure Visibility
Scroll to the Visibility section:
- Private — Only team members can see this project
- Public — Project appears on your public profile (if enabled)
Step 5: Add Tech Stack (Optional)
In the Tech Stack section:
- Click Add Technology
- Select from the dropdown or type to search
- Repeat for each technology used
Tech stack tags appear on your public profile and help categorize your work.
Step 6: Write a Result Blurb (Optional)
The result blurb is a short (120 characters max) summary of the business outcome:
"Reduced processing time by 40% through automation."
This appears prominently on your public profile.
Step 7: Save Changes
Click Save or Update Project to apply your changes.
Expected Result
After saving:
- Settings update immediately
- If made public, the project appears on your profile
- Tech stack tags are visible in project lists
Troubleshooting
Changes don't save
Check for validation errors in the form. The slug must be unique and URL-friendly (lowercase, hyphens only).
Can't change visibility
You may not have permission to make projects public. Check with your team owner.
Tech stack options are limited
The available technologies come from a predefined list. Contact support to request additions.
