Manage projects

A project is one site's space in Capa. See Projects for what it holds. This page covers the tasks that change a project itself.

Create a projectCopy Anchor Link

1. Open the project switcher at the left of the top bar, or go to app.capacms.com/projects.
2. Choose Create project.
3. Enter a Project name of at least two characters, and choose Create.

You become the project's owner, with the Admin role. Capa opens the new project on its billing settings.

Next, build your models and invite your team.

Switch projectsCopy Anchor Link

Open the project switcher. It shows your five most recent projects under Recent, then every project under All projects, from A to Z. Type in Find a project to search.

Projects at app.capacms.com/projects lists them all too.

Rename a projectCopy Anchor Link

1. Go to Settings > Project.
2. Change Name, up to 80 characters.
3. Choose Save.

Admins and the owner can rename a project. The new name shows everywhere at once. The project's URL does not change.

Change the project URLCopy Anchor Link

Each project has its own address, such as app.capacms.com/project/northpeak-outdoor. To change the northpeak-outdoor part:

1. Go to Settings > Project.
2. Under Project URL, type the new one: 3 to 48 lowercase letters and digits, with single hyphens between them.
3. Choose Save URL.

If another project already has it, Capa says "That URL is taken".

Your site is not affected. Keys read the project they belong to, whatever its URL.

Transfer ownershipCopy Anchor Link

Only the owner can do this, to someone who is already a member.

1. Go to Settings > Members.
2. Open the new owner's menu and choose Transfer ownership.
3. Confirm.

The new owner can now transfer ownership and delete the project. You stay in the project as an admin.

Leave a projectCopy Anchor Link

1. Go to Settings > Members.
2. Choose Leave tenant, and confirm.

You lose access at once. The owner cannot leave: transfer ownership first, or delete the project.

Delete a projectCopy Anchor Link

Only the owner can delete a project, and not while it is open.

1. Open another project.
2. Open the project switcher, hover the project to delete, and choose its trash icon.
3. Confirm.
