Creating Your First Project

Your First Project

Projects are the foundation of organizing your documentation in Parsewise. Think of a project as a container for related documents, making it easy to manage permissions, search within context, and maintain organization as your documentation grows.

Understanding Project Structure

Each project in Parsewise can contain multiple document types, folders, and sub-projects. This flexible structure allows you to organize documentation in a way that matches your team's workflow. Common project structures include:

• Department-based: Sales, Engineering, Marketing
• Product-based: Product A, Product B, Product C
• Purpose-based: Onboarding, Processes, Policies

Creating Your Project

To create your first project, click the "New Project" button from your dashboard. You'll need to provide a project name and optional description. Choose a name that clearly identifies the project's purpose – this helps team members quickly find the right documentation.

Best practices for project setup:

• Use clear, descriptive names
• Add a brief description explaining the project's purpose
• Set appropriate access permissions from the start
• Consider creating a folder structure before adding documents

Once your project is created, you're ready to start adding documentation. In the next lesson, we'll cover how to upload and organize your documents effectively.
