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:

SettingDescription
NameChange the project's display name
SlugUpdate the URL-friendly identifier
DescriptionEdit the project summary
ClientAssociate 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:

  1. Click Add Technology
  2. Select from the dropdown or type to search
  3. 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.
