A project is the top-level container in WorkflowDog. Its workflows, workflow runs, variables, connected accounts, team, and billing settings are kept together. WorkflowDog does not have a separate workspace layer. When you choose a project, you are choosing the complete working context for everything in the project dashboard.

​
Create a project

1

Open the project list

Use the project switcher and choose the option to view your projects.
2

Create the project

Select Create Project, enter a name, and confirm. The person who creates the project starts with Editor access.
3

Create a workflow

Open Workflows, select Create a Workflow, and choose the trigger that should start it. Workflow creation is trigger-first; there is not a workflow template picker.

​
What belongs to a project

Moving a workflow between projects is not available. Create the workflow in the project whose integrations, variables, team, and billing it should use.

​
Switch projects

Open the project switcher from the dashboard sidebar, search by project name, and choose a project. When possible, the switcher keeps you on the equivalent dashboard section—for example, switching from one project’s Variables page opens Variables in the destination project. The P shortcut opens the project switcher when focus is not inside another input.

​
Organize workflows with folders

The Workflows page supports nested folders. Create a folder, create subfolders from its menu, and drag workflows between folders or back to the project root. Deleting a folder does not delete its workflows:
  • Workflows in a nested folder move to the deleted folder’s parent.
  • Workflows in a top-level folder move back to the project root.
  • Nested folders inside the deleted folder are removed.
Workflow folders are stored in the current browser’s local storage. Folder names, nesting, collapsed state, and workflow assignments are not shared with teammates or synchronized to another browser or device. The workflows themselves remain project data.
If folders disappear after clearing browser data or changing devices, the workflows are still available at the project root.

​
Rename a project

Open the project overview, select the project name or its menu, and choose Rename Project. Renaming changes the project label without changing its workflows, integrations, or URL identifier. Only an Editor can rename a project. See Team and permissions for role details.

​
Delete a project

Project deletion permanently removes the project and its associated workflows, runs, variables, integration links, invitations, and other project data. It also cancels an active usage subscription for that project.
Project deletion cannot be undone. Confirm that you no longer need the project’s run history or variable values before deleting it.
An Editor can delete the project from the project overview menu. Because Editors have broad project control, grant that role only to trusted teammates.

​
Troubleshooting

The switcher lists only projects where your account is a member. Confirm that you accepted the invitation while signed in with the invited email address and that another Editor has not removed you.
This is expected. Folder organization is local to each browser. Search for the workflow by name, then recreate any local folder structure you want on that device.
Those actions require Editor access. A Viewer can inspect project resources but cannot change project settings.
