Every organization is different, and we at Kontent.ai know that. That’s why projects in Kontent.ai can be whatever you need them to be.This lesson gives you a general overview of what projects are and unveils the options you have to take the content organization to the next level.

Project as a top-level unit of content organization

For one organization, a project represents the whole organizational structure and its content. For another, it could be one or more websites or campaigns. You can imagine a project as a pool of all content or content with a common purpose. Technically speaking, a project is an organizational unit. All content inside a project shares the same configuration:

Your content model is project-wide: content types, snippets, taxonomies, and asset types.
You can reuse parts of your content across different content items without complications.
There are several ways to organize your content:
- Taxonomies organize your content by purpose, audience, or any other aspects important to your business.
- Collections divide your content according to your business structure, the regions you operate in, the purpose of the content, and so on.
- Spaces divide the view of the content’s presentation for a dedicated website, which can be tied to collections.
Multiple workflows reflect the differences between how you work with various types of content and how they flow through their life cycle.
Users within a project are assigned roles defined on the project level. These roles define the access level for a specific group of users, including access to content.

When deciding how to approach the setup of projects in your organization, think about content reuse, organizational boundaries, and access rights.

Break the silos within one project

Imagine your project as one whole organization. How do you break silos with it?Content sharing becomes much easier without the need to copy and paste. You can:

Model your content with your stakeholders involved.
Mirror your actual organizational workflows and communication.
Organize your content by department using collections and set roles for who can work with them.
Set up spaces for each brand or channel, paired with dedicated collections, to create a presentation layer.
