# Projects and render presets
> Organize related renders and reuse render settings with project presets.
Projects keep related renders, scene files, and render settings together. Use one project for each production, client, or scene that you want to manage separately.
Every workspace includes a **General** project. New renders use General unless you choose another project, so creating a project is always optional.
## Create a project
Select **Projects** in the sidebar.
Select **New Project**, then add a name and optional description.
Open the project to see its **Renders**, **Assets**, and **Presets** tabs.
The three project tabs have a simple purpose:
* **Renders** contains the project's render history.
* **Assets** contains scene files uploaded to the project.
* **Presets** contains reusable render settings for the project.
## Choose a project for a render
On the **Configure Render** page, choose a project before continuing. General is selected automatically.
The selected project controls where the render and scene file appear, and which presets are available after validation. You can also open a project and select **New Render** to start with that project already selected.
You can reassign an existing render from the renders list. This only moves the render to another project; it does not restart or change the render.
## Create a render preset
A preset saves settings that you want to reuse in one project. Presets are selective: they change only the fields you include and leave every other setting unchanged.
You can include:
* Resolution and resolution percentage
* Compute device
* Samples
* Denoising type and device
* Additional MP4 output
Open a project, select **Presets**, then select **New Preset**. Choose only the settings the preset should control and enter their values.
On the post-validation page, adjust the render settings and select **Save as preset**. Changed fields are selected automatically, and you can review them before saving.
The new preset is saved to the render's current project.
## Apply a preset
After validation, use the **Render preset** section to choose:
* **Original settings** for the settings read from the uploaded file.
* **Test render** for a quick test with fewer frames and lighter settings.
* **A project preset** for saved settings from the current project.
Select an option once to apply it. If you then edit a field, the selection changes to **Custom**. Those edits affect only the current render unless you save them as a new preset.
## Set a default preset
In the project's **Presets** tab, select the star on a preset to make it the default. A project can have one default preset.
The default applies automatically when a render in that project reaches post-validation. You can still select **Original settings**, **Test render**, or another preset for that render.
## Edit or delete presets
Use the actions in the **Presets** tab to edit a preset, change its default status, or delete it.
Deleting a preset removes it from future selection. It does not change renders that already used its values.
## Delete a project
The General project cannot be deleted. When you delete another project, its renders move to General and remain accessible.
