Learn how projects streamline creative collaboration and asset management across Creative Cloud.

Projects help you keep your work structured, connected, and easy to manage. Whether you're editing or preparing files for review, projects gives you one place to create, collaborate, and stay in sync across the Creative Cloud ecosystem.

An overview of projects

Projects is a collaborative workspace within Adobe Home, Adobe Express, and Adobe Photoshop (Beta). It helps you organize your creative work, manage permissions, and streamline sharing.

Projects are different from:

  • Libraries: Collections of reusable assets like logos, fonts, and colors.
  • Folders: Help organize files within a project.
  • Brands: Save and apply brand elements, such as logos, colors, and fonts, consistently across various projects.

Projects enhance collaboration among Adobe users by allowing them to share multiple assets in bulk with the same group rather than individually. Projects also enable equal permissions for all collaborators to either edit or view all assets in them. This construct is especially valuable for Teams and Enterprise accounts, where assets are stored in business storage rather than tied to individual accounts. Projects allow you to create folders to make your workspace easy to navigate and aligned across Adobe apps. 

As projects are supported across surfaces, you’ll have access to the same content no matter which app you’re in, eliminating the need to move or duplicate files. This allows cross-functional teams to contribute their work and track changes in the same collaborative workspace, without relying on long email threads or scattered file versions. 

Access projects in your apps

Projects is currently available on the following surfaces:

  • Adobe Express on web and mobile: On the Adobe Express homepage, go to Your stuff > Projects.
  • Adobe Home on web: Sign in to Adobe Home and go to Files > Projects.
  • Adobe Photoshop (Beta) on desktop: On the Photoshop (beta) homescreen, select Projects.
View and manage shared projects in Photoshop by selecting the Projects tab from the left panel.
Open the Projects tab to access and manage your collaborative work.

Additionally, we're continuing to expand projects across the Creative Cloud ecosystem, with broader availability planned in the upcoming months:

  • Adobe Photoshop
  • Adobe Illustrator
  • Adobe InDesign
  • Adobe Workfront

Supported formats in projects

Projects support all file types, from Photoshop files to PNGs to PDFs, with the exception of executables. In creative apps, the default view for projects filters for compatible files, including fully editable Adobe cloud documents, standard media types like JPEGs and PDFs, and reference-only files.
