How to manage your projects

When you create a project,it is automatically added to your My Projects panel.
This panel shows a list of all the projects created using your account and all those created in teams that you are a member of. It allows you to check the progress and status of projects or recover them if necessary.

To access the My Projects Panel you can:

• go to http://www.matecat.com/manage
• click on the Personal Account icon and select My Projects 

Editing project names

Once a project has been created in Matecat, you can edit its name from the My Projects panel:

• Find the project whose name you want to edit.
• Hover the mouse pointer over the project, a pencil icon will appear next to the project's name.

• Click the pencil icon to activate the text field where you can edit the project name.

• Enter the new name for your project. To save the changes, either click the "Confirm" button or press the Enter key.

Active/archived/cancelled projects

By default, My Projects Panel will only show your active projects, listed in chronological order.

You can view and filter archived and cancelled projects by clicking the Filter button next to the "Search by project name" box.

You can refine your search by entering the project name directly in the box and filtering by Active, Archived or Cancelled status.

You will still be able to reactivate your archived projects by going to the Archived section and selecting Unarchive project in the drop menu located at the top right corner of the project box. If you need assistance, you can write an email to our support team.

From your Cancelled projects panel, you can remove permanently the job from your list. Otherwise, if you have cancelled your project and need to work on it again, you can resume the job from the list.
