How to Create a SciNote Project and Add Users to it?

As the owner of a project, you can decide whether you want to grant access to every team member or only to selected users. Use key fields like 'Description', 'Due date', and 'Head of project' to manage the project and track progress easily.

*Only users with the 'Owner' and 'User' access role at the Team level can create new Projects within a team. Review access roles and permissions here.

To create a project:

  1. Select Projects on the left taskbar.
  2. Click the +New Project button in the upper left corner.
