📜 Cowork just got a proper filing cabinet. Anthropic added Projects to Claude Cowork — dedicated workspaces that group related tasks with their own files, instructions, and memory, so you stop re-explaining context every time you open a new task. ⚓ What a Cowork Project Actually Gives You - Instructions — tone, formatting, or rules that apply to every task inside that project. - Scheduled tasks — recurring tasks that belong specifically to that project. - Context — a local folder, a linked Claude (chat) project, or a URL Claude references automatically. - Memory — Claude carries what it learned on one task into the next task in the same project. Projects you build in Cowork now save to your Claude account, so you can pick them up from another device — they work the same way whether you're in Cowork or in Claude chat. ——— ⚓ Three Ways to Create One - Start from scratch — a fresh folder with instructions and files. - Import from a Claude project — search for an existing chat project, name the new Cowork version, pick where it saves on your computer, and "Create" transfers the files and instructions over. (No bulk importing — one at a time.) - Use an existing folder — point Claude at a folder for context, then name the project, add instructions and extra files, and create. You'll find it under Projects in the left nav panel — click the "+" button. ——— ⚓ Memory and Sharing - Memory is on by default per project and does NOT carry over between projects. - Projects share memory with your regular chats unless you turn off "Use account memory" under Memory on the project's page. - Sharing (View or Edit access to org members) is Team and Enterprise only — group sharing is in beta on Enterprise. - Archiving a project just removes it from the UI — your local files and folders are untouched. ——— ☠️ Watch Out - No Claude Code support yet — Projects are Cowork-only right now. Anthropic says Code support is "planned for a future update." - Requires the latest Claude Desktop. Web/mobile access is Pro, Max, Ultra, and Team (beta) now, Enterprise if an admin turns it on. Desktop covers all paid plans. - If you're on Team/Enterprise WITHOUT the unified chat-and-Cowork experience turned on, a project built from an existing folder stays local on that computer — it won't sync to your account. - If you already had local Cowork projects, Claude Desktop auto-migrates them into your account (name, description, instructions, and a memory copy) — your actual files stay put on your computer, nothing gets uploaded or deleted. - No published numbers on file-count or storage limits for a project.
