Project Overview
A project is the central entity in Q. It holds everything about what you're building: text pages, mission boards, integrations, and AI context. This page covers all the settings and configuration options available for a project.
Main View
From the workspace's project list, you can see and edit three things for each project at a glance:
- Name - the project's display name, editable inline
- Status - a color-coded indicator of where the project stands
- One-liner - a short tagline (up to 150 characters) summarizing the project
Project Status
Every project has a status that reflects its current stage:
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Captured | Idea has been captured but not yet explored |
| Researching | Actively researching and validating the idea |
| Building | Currently building the project |
| Live | Product is live and active |
| Paused | Development or progress is temporarily paused |
| Killed | Project has been abandoned |
Project Settings
Project settings are organized into five tabs: General, Pages, Activity, Sharing, and Integrations.
General
The General tab contains four sections:
Identity
Configure the strategic profile of your project:
| Field | Description | Options |
|---|---|---|
| Domain | The domain or URL associated with this project | Free text (e.g. yourapp.com) |
| Audience | Target audience or business model | None, B2B, B2C, B2B2C / Marketplace, Internal Tool, Developer Tool, Open Source |
| Industry | Industry vertical or category | None, E-commerce, Health / Wellness, FinTech, EdTech, Productivity, Social / Community, Gaming, Media / Content, DevTools, Infrastructure, Other |
| Idea Score | Rate the potential or quality of this idea (1–10 scale) | Color-coded: red (below 40), yellow (40–69), green (70+) |
Build Setup
Tell Q how you build this project. These settings influence AI suggestions, mission board formatting, and onboarding guidance.
| Field | Options |
|---|---|
| Building Tool | Not set, Cursor, Claude Code, Lovable, v0, Other |
| Source Code Storage | Not set, GitHub, GitLab, Local Only, No Code Yet |
| Project Stage | Not set, New (just getting started), Developing (actively building), Launched (product is live) |
Setting your building tool helps Q tailor mission templates. For example, Lovable projects get prompt-style mission bodies, while Cursor projects get structured dev tickets.
Metadata
Read-only information about the project:
- Created - when the project was first created
- Last Updated - when the project was last modified
- Project ID - the unique identifier (UUID)
Danger Zone
Permanently delete the project. Requires typing the project name to confirm. This action cannot be undone.
Pages
The Page Manager - see Page Manager for full documentation.
Integrations
All export and integration options for connecting the project to external tools. This is already covered in the Integrations tab of the docs.
Activity
The Activity tab shows a chronological feed of everything that happened in the project. Each entry shows the file name, who made the change, what happened, and when.
Events are tracked across pages, missions, AI actions, integrations, and more:
| Category | Events tracked |
|---|---|
| Pages | Created, content updated, version restored |
| Comments | Comment added |
| Missions | Created, accepted (AI), status changed, title changed, priority changed, operation changed, assignee changed |
| Cursor Cloud Agents | Mission assigned to Cursor, Cursor finished, Cursor error |
| Pull Requests | PR opened, ready for review, merged, closed |
| Integrations | Project context updated, MCP token created |
Each entry also shows the source - whether the change came from a user, Sidebar AI, General Q, MCP, a webhook, or the app itself.
Individual pages also have their own activities and comments timeline at the bottom, showing just the events for that specific page.
Sharing
The Sharing tab controls visibility, access, and duplication.
Visibility
Toggle between Private and Public:
- Private - only workspace members can access
- Public - anyone with the link can view (read-only; visitors cannot edit or use AI features)
When public, you get a shareable link with a copy button.
Password Protection
Optionally add a password to your public project. Visitors must enter the password before they can view the content. Minimum 4 characters.
Workspace Links
Share the project with other workspaces for read-only access. Linked workspace members can view the project content but cannot edit or use the AI assistant. You can revoke access at any time.
Duplicate / Copy
Create an independent copy of the project:
- Duplicate - copy within the same workspace
- Copy to another workspace - choose a target workspace and a new name
The copy includes all project content and is fully independent from the original.
