# Projects

> Projects are the primary container for your work in Summation.

A project is the primary container for work in Summation. It holds your data connections, files, reports, knowledge documents, and chat threads with Addison.

## What's in a project

| Component          | Description                                                           |
| ------------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Chat threads**   | Conversations with Addison, scoped to the project's data              |
| **Reports**        | Analytical documents generated by Addison                             |
| **Tables**         | Data from connected sources and custom tables created in your project |
| **Knowledge docs** | Context documents that help Addison understand your domain            |
| **Files**          | Uploaded files (CSV, Excel, PDF, PowerPoint, and more)                |

## Creating a project

Go to **Projects** in the sidebar, then click **New project**. Give it a name and optionally add collaborators.

## Collaborators

Projects support multiple collaborators. Invite team members to work together on the same data, reports, and dashboards. Each collaborator can create their own chat threads within the project.

## Chat threads

Each project can have many chat threads. Threads are scoped to individual users — your conversations are yours — but can be shared in read-only mode.

Switching between projects starts a fresh conversation thread. Previous threads are preserved and accessible from the chat history in the project.

## Files and data

* **Files uploaded to a project** are local to that project
* **Tables** from connected sources appear in the **Data** page — each table has an editable catalog entry for adding descriptions, column definitions, and business context
