# Projects

In BeyondWords, a project is a workspace with its own settings for content, distribution, analytics, and monetization.

You can use projects to manage content across different publications, website environments, or editorial categories. Your project limit depends on your organization's plan.

## Create a project

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the project creator">
    Go to your organization's homepage and click **+ Project**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enter project details">
    Complete the following details:

    * **Project logo (optional)**: Upload an image to help you quickly identify the project in your dashboard
    * **Project name**: A descriptive name so you can easily find the project later
    * **Language**: The default language for voice selection and [AI preprocessing](/docs-and-guides/voices/customization#enable-ai-preprocessing)
    * **Accent**: The default accent (where available) for voice selection and [AI preprocessing](/docs-and-guides/voices/customization#enable-ai-preprocessing)
    * **Environment (optional)**: Label as "Production" or "Staging" for easy reference
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save the project">
    Click **Save changes** to create your project.

    You’ll then be taken to the project dashboard.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## FAQs

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Will updates to project settings affect my previous content?">
    In general, changes to your project settings do not affect existing content items, even if those items are [regenerated](/docs-and-guides/content/content-items#regenerate-content). (For example, if you update your project's default voice, existing content items will continue using their original voices unless they are updated directly in the Editor or through the API.)

    The exceptions are:

    1. [Filters](/docs-and-guides/integrations/content-extraction#filters): New content filters are applied when content is regenerated automatically through an integration
    2. [Pronunciation rules](/docs-and-guides/voices/customization#pronunciation-rules): New pronunciation rules are applied to any generated or regenerated content within their scope
    3. [Background music](/docs-and-guides/tools/add-music): If a content item uses the project's default background music, changes to that default will be applied when the content is regenerated
    4. [Style template](/docs-and-guides/content/video#style-templates): If a video uses the project's style template and it has not been customized in the [Editor](/docs-and-guides/tools/editor), changes to the template will be applied when the content is regenerated

    These changes do not trigger regeneration automatically. You must [regenerate](/docs-and-guides/content/content-items#regenerate-content) the content item for the updates to take effect.

    To apply other project-level changes to existing content, update the content item directly in the [Editor](/docs-and-guides/tools/editor) or through the [API](/docs-and-guides/integrations/api-overview) before regenerating.
