# Home and projects

> Find your recent work on the Home page and group related chats, reports, galleries, and artifacts into shared projects.

Chats, reports, and generated content pile up quickly. The Home page surfaces your most recent work, and projects let you group related items and share the whole group with teammates at once.

## The Home page

Home is your landing page after login. At the top is a chat prompt box — submitting it starts a new conversation — with a carousel of prompt templates below it. Under the prompt box, three tabs organize your work:

* **Recent** — a carousel of your projects (most recently updated first), followed by a list of your recent work items. Filter the list by type (All, Reports, Galleries, Chats, Artifacts) and sort by Most Recent, Oldest, or Alphabetical. A sidebar on the right shows your most recent stories, if you have any.
* **Playbooks** — the playbook catalog, if [Playbooks](/playbooks/overview) are included in your plan.
* **Projects** — a grid of every project you can access, most recent first.

<Tip>
  To find something by name, use global search — press **Cmd/Ctrl+K** anywhere in the app. It searches reports, galleries, chats, and projects across everything you can access. Artifacts, stories, and knowledge files don't appear in search results; find artifacts through Home's Recent tab (filter by Artifacts) or the project that contains them.
</Tip>

## What a project holds

A project groups related work under one name: chats, [reports](/reports/overview), [galleries](/galleries/overview), and [artifacts](/artifacts/overview). Each project page shows:

* **Cover image** — editors can upload an image, paste an image link, generate one with AI, or remove it.
* **Name and description** — click to edit inline. New projects are auto-named "Untitled #1", "Untitled #2", and so on until you rename them.
* **Sharing line** — who created the project and whether it's private or shared, with avatars of the people who have access.
* **Contents** — everything in the project, with the same type filter and sort options as the Home page.

## Create a project

Click **New** in the top bar and choose **New Project**. Merciv creates the project and takes you straight into it. You can also create a project on the fly while moving an item (see below).

## Add items to a project

There are two ways to get work into a project:

* **Create inside the project.** While viewing a project, use the **New** button or the empty-state buttons to create a chat, report, or gallery — it's created in that project.
* **Move an existing item.** From anywhere, open the "…" menu on a chat, report, gallery, or artifact and choose **Move to Project**. Pick an existing project or create a new one. Moving an item requires edit or owner access to that item.

## Share a project

Click **Share** on the project page to open the sharing dialog. Search your organization's members by name and grant each person one of two levels:

* **Viewer** — view-only access. Viewers can open everything in the project but can't rename it, edit its description or cover, add items, or share it.
* **Editor** — edit access. Editors can rename the project, edit the description and cover, create items inside it, and share it with others.

The dialog also shows everyone who currently has access. Only the owner and editors can open sharing. Projects are shared person by person — there's no organization-wide toggle.

For how permissions work across the rest of Merciv, see [Sharing and permissions](/getting-started/sharing-and-permissions).

<Note>
  When someone shares a project with you, you get an in-app notification in your Inbox. If you open a project link you don't have access to, you'll see "No access" and be returned to Home — ask the owner to share it with you.
</Note>

## Rename or delete a project

Both actions live in the "…" menu. Only the project owner can delete.

<Warning>
  Deleting a project (or a chat, report, or gallery) removes it from all lists and can't be undone from the app. Deleted items are archived rather than permanently erased, so if you delete something by mistake, contact Merciv support — restoration may be possible.
