Projects are essentially folders with the option to manage user access for a smaller group of people within a team. Projects are here to help you organize your boards and make them easier to find and share. In other words, a project is a group of boards that you can share with your teammates all at once.
Available for: Team, Education, Business, Enterprise, Consultant plans
Check the overview of Miro Projects in the video:
All the team's projects to which you are invited are listed alphabetically under the team name on the dashboard. Beside the name of the project you see the avatars of the project participants:
This user participates in several projects of the Cat team
When you invite a project member, you can set their role (editor, commenter or viewer) for all boards in the project at once. Their access rights to a specific board can then be changed via the board's Share menu.
As a project member you can:
● access all boards within the project, both present and all newly created or added to the project,
● create boards within the project,
● be notified of all changes in all boards within a project.
⚠️ If a board is located in a private project but is shared with the whole team, all the team members have access to it.

There are several ways editors can move boards to a project:

Moving boards to another Project or removing it
You can move the board to another project or remove it the same ways you add a board to a project. Open the settings and from the project names list choose another name or choose None. This can be done in two ways:
● from the board’s information card:
Removing a board from a project via the board info card
● from the board's context menu on the dashboard:

Leaving or deleting a Project
To delete a project you must be its owner. All the other members instead of the Delete option will see the button named Leave Project. To make the change click the project name to access the settings and then click the button in the right lower corner of the window.

Deleting the project does not delete boards within it.
After leaving or deleting a project you will still have access to the boards shared with you personally or with the whole team. They will be visible on your All Boards page.
