A project corresponds to a codebase that uses Convex, which contains a production deployment and one personal deployment for each team member.

Clicking on a project in the [landing page](https://dashboard.convex.dev) will redirect you to project details.

## Creating a project[​](#creating-a-project "Direct link to Creating a project")

Projects can be created from the dashboard or from the [CLI](/cli.md#create-a-new-project). To create a project from the dashboard click on the Create Project button.

## Project Settings[​](#project-settings "Direct link to Project Settings")

You can access project-level settings by clicking on the triple-dot `⋮` button on each Project card on the Projects page.

On the [Project Settings page](https://dashboard.convex.dev/project/settings), you can:

* Update your project's name and slug.
* Manage the project's Admins. See [Roles and Permissions](/dashboard/teams.md#roles-and-permissions) for more details.
* View the amount of [usage metrics](/dashboard/teams.md#usage) your project has consumed.
* Add [custom domains](/production/hosting/custom.md#custom-domains) for your production deployment
* Generate deploy keys for your production and preview deployments.
* Create and edit [default environment variables](/production/environment-variables.md#project-environment-variable-defaults).
* View instructions to regain access to your project, should you lose track of your `CONVEX_DEPLOYMENT` config.
* Permanently delete the project.

## Deleting projects[​](#deleting-projects "Direct link to Deleting projects")

To delete a project, click on the triple-dot `⋮` button on the Project card and select "Delete". You may also delete your project from the Project Settings page.

Once a project is deleted, it cannot be recovered. All deployments and data associated with the project will be permanently removed. When deleting a project from the dashboard, you will be asked to confirm the deletion. Projects with activity in the production deployment will have additional confirmation steps to prevent accidental deletion.
