Learn how to create and organize projects in Creative Cloud.

Create projects

You can create projects in Creative Cloud to store your folders or libraries all in one place. You can maintain organized folders and sub-folders within a project and invite your team members to collaborate and work together effectively.

  1. On Adobe Home, go to Files > Projects > Create project.

    Adobe Projects Dashboard showing multiple project cards and displaying Create project button for starting a new project.
    Create a project or browse existing ones to get started with your work.

  2. Type a project name and select Create

  3. Once you have created the project, you can invite collaborators by entering their name or email in the project sharing screen.

    Note

    You can share individual files with specific people for more granular control.

    Adobe Projects interface displaying the 'Invite people to the project' dialog box.
    Invite collaborators to your project by adding people.

  4. Set access and permissions levels for each collaborator:

    • Can comment: Can view files and leave feedback, but cannot share.
    • Can edit: Can create, modify, share, and organize files.
    Adobe Projects interface displaying the 'Invite people to the project' dialog box, with fields to add collaborators, an optional message, and permission settings such as Can edit and Can comment.
    Assign edit permissions for each collaborator.

  5. Add an optional message, if required, and select Invite.

Organize projects

Projects allow you to create and organize folders, making your workspace easy to navigate. Depending on your workflow, you can structure your folders however you prefer.

For example, a digital magazine, such as ABC Magazine, can use projects to stay organized and aligned across Adobe apps:

ABC Magazine, Fall 2025 issue:

  • Visual Moodboards 
  • Approved Assets 
  • Asset Drafts 
  • Final Deliverables
