    "body": "A project groups related render jobs and provides the isolated file namespace used by PROJECT-mode submissions. Projects belong to the active organization.\n\n![The Projects overview listing project cards with live job statistics](https://superlumin.al/docs/images/web/projects-overview.png)\n\n*Open a project for its jobs or use the card actions for project-level management.*\n\n- [Annotation 1: Create a project](/docs/web-ui/projects#create-a-project)\n\n- [Annotation 2: Open a project. The badge shows running work](/docs/web-ui/projects#project-home)\n\n- [Annotation 3: Switch products or projects from the taskbar](/docs/web-ui#navigation)\n\n## Project home\n\nThe project browser has grid and list views. Project cards can show:\n\n- project name and creation date\n- the number of jobs and running activity\n- the newest available finished-frame thumbnail\n- actions such as open, open in a new tab, copy link, rename, and delete\n\nJob counts, activity, and thumbnails refresh as current project and render data loads.\n\n## Create a project\n\n### Confirm the active context\n\nProjects, jobs, balance, and capacity belong to one organization. When you open a project, its organization becomes the active context.\n\n### Choose Create Project\n\n    Enter a short, durable production or shot-group name.\n\n![The New Project dialog asking for a project name](https://superlumin.al/docs/images/web/projects-new-dialog.png)\n\n*The New Project dialog. The name is the only required decision.*\n\n### Open the project\n\nThe default render destination is its job list.\n\n### Refresh Blender\n\nReturn to the add-on and refresh the project picker if it was already open.\n\nUse names that survive handoff and version growth: `campaign-shot-010` is more useful than `test` or `new project`.\n\n## PROJECT upload reuse\n\nWhen you select the same project in Blender, PROJECT mode compares the new submission with the files already uploaded and sends only what changed. This reuse needs a stable project root and path mapping. The project name alone does not make external paths reusable.\n\n### Deleting a project is destructive\n\nDeletion permanently removes the project, all of its render jobs, and stored outputs. Confirm the context, copy any Job IDs you need for records, and download important output first. Do not delete a project to clean up one failed job.\n\n## Share a project link\n\nThe copy-link action copies the project URL. The URL does not grant access by itself. The recipient must sign in with an account that has access to the organization.\n\n## Storage and Production tabs\n\nThese taskbar destinations open **Coming Soon** placeholders. See [Product availability](/docs/availability) for what works today.\n\n- [Upload settings](/docs/blender-addon/upload-settings): Make reusable project files work with a deliberate root.\n- [Render jobs](/docs/web-ui/render-jobs): Search and manage everything submitted to a project.",
