What is a project?

A project is the top-level container for everything you build. Templates, data schemas, data sources, mappings, datasets, productions and outputs all live inside exactly one project.

Why projects?

• Isolation. Content in one project never spills into another. A template made for the football show cannot accidentally be used by the news show.
• Organization. A team working on several shows keeps them separate without creating separate accounts or organizations.
• Permissions. All access is scoped to the organization a project belongs to — members of other organizations cannot see it.

What lives inside a project?

• Templates — the visual designs.
• Data schemas — the shape of the data the templates expect.
• Data sources and mappings — where raw data comes from and how it maps to a schema.
• Datasets — resolved data ready to be used on air.
• Outputs — the URLs a broadcast tool captures.
• Productions — the live shows that tie templates + datasets + outputs together.

How many projects should I have?

There is no hard limit. As a rule of thumb, create a new project when:

• The content will never be reused elsewhere.
• The data model is fundamentally different.
• Separate people will edit it.

A single project can contain many productions, so you do not need a new project for every broadcast.
