Projects
A project is the unit most teams interact with day to day.
Projects own:
- builds
- baselines
- visual testing settings
- API tokens
- privacy and public-sharing rules
What you configure at the project level
Project settings typically cover:
- baseline mode
- comparison sensitivity
- noise filtering
- diff highlight color
- baseline signature properties
- API tokens
- public properties and visibility
- GitHub integration and PR comment images
Permissions
Admins and owners handle most project configuration. Members usually work inside the project without owning its settings.
Privacy
Projects can be private or public, but that behavior is constrained by organization-level privacy rules.
API tokens
Projects issue their own automation tokens. That is why a project token is the normal credential for CI and SDK uploads.
Lifecycle
Projects can usually be:
- created
- updated
- archived
- deleted
Archive when you want to hide a project without losing its history. Delete only when you are sure you want the data gone.
