Project Settings

Everything that shapes the project — its name, its icon, and the nuclear "delete it" button — lives in one place.

Where Settings Live

Inside the project, look in the left sidebar for Settings. That's the panel. It's visible to every member, but most of the controls are Owner-only — Editors and Viewers can see what's configured without being able to change it.

Rename the Project

Change the project's display name. The new name shows up everywhere immediately after you save — sidebar, breadcrumb, the Projects list. No reload needed.

TIP

The name is just a label. It doesn't affect anything in the database or the analysis output, so rename freely. Useful when a deal changes codename partway through.

Change the Icon

Pick a new icon from the curated Material Symbols set, and a color from the 10-color palette. The combination shows up next to the project name everywhere it's listed.

If you don't pick an icon, Contract Analyzer falls back to colored initials generated from the project name — the same treatment the member list uses for avatars without profile photos. Perfectly readable, just less distinctive than an icon.

Storage Usage

Storage usage isn't on the Settings panel — it lives on the Overview page — but it's the kind of number Owners care about, so it's worth flagging here.

It's computed, not stored: Contract Analyzer sums the file sizes of every contract uploaded to the project, plus any exports the project has generated. The number updates as you add and remove files.

Most projects stay well under any practical limit. If a deal has hundreds of scanned PDFs, the Overview is where you'll notice it first.

Delete the Project

Owner-only. The Delete button is at the bottom of the Settings panel, and it asks for confirmation.

WARNING

Deleting a project is not recoverable. It cascades to all contracts, all analysis jobs, all extracted terms, and all exports stored for that project. The database enforces this via foreign key cascades — there's no soft-delete, nothing in a trash can, no admin who can un-delete for you. Double-check before confirming.

Delete vs. Archive

There's no archive feature today — projects are either live or gone. If you want to keep the results of a finished deal for reference without paying ongoing storage for the raw contracts, the workflow is:

1. Export first. CSV or XLSX, from the Analysis view. That gives you the matrix and the overrides in a portable file.
2. Then delete the project.

The exported file is yours — it lives outside Contract Analyzer and costs nothing to keep around. The project itself, and the underlying contracts and extractions, are gone once you confirm.

If archive-without-delete is something you need, it's on the backlog — for now, export-then-delete is the pattern.
