Project Portfolios help you organize projects into high-level groupings and streamline cross-project management. With Folders inside Portfolios, you now have an additional layer of structure—making it easier to group related projects by department, client, team, product line, location, or any other organizational need.

Portfolios also let you assign teammates at the Portfolio level, automatically managing access and invitations across the projects it contains.

Creating and Adding to a Portfolio

  • Default Portfolio: The default Portfolio is named General, where all new team members are added upon joining your Workspace. This Portfolio is ideal for company-wide resources accessible to everyone. It can be renamed and deleted.

  • Creating Additional Portfolios: Workspace Owners or Admins can create new Portfolios by clicking the + icon in the sidebar.

  • Adding Teammates: The Portfolio creator can add teammates by selecting from Workspace Members or entering email addresses in the search bar.

  • Project Access: Teammates added to a Portfolio are automatically invited to all public projects within that Portfolio. For private projects, the project creator must manually invite members.

  • Direct Project Invitations: You can invite teammates directly to a project within a Portfolio without adding them to the Portfolio itself. These teammates will see the Portfolio name but not its members or other projects they are not part of. Clients will only see the project they are invited to, not any Portfolios.

The Workspace Owner or Admins can create additional Portfolios via the + icon in the sidebar.

The person who created the Portfolio can then add additional teammates to the Portfolio by selecting from Workspace Members or inserting email addresses in the search bar.

Teammates added to the Portfolio are automatically invited to all projects, both current and future projects in the Portfolio as long as those projects are made public to its Portfolio. When projects are created as "Private", project creator must manually invite members to the project.

Note: You can invite teammates directly to a project within a Portfolio without inviting them to the Portfolio itself. In this case, these teammates will see the Portfolio name, but will not see the Portfolio's members and other projects that they're not a part of. Clients will not see any Portfolios but only the project that they invited into.

Projects can be moved across Portfolios by Portfolio Admins. Continue reading for more information on this.

Managing a Portfolio

  • Admin Role: Admins assigned to a Portfolio can manage its projects and members. If a project is moved into a Portfolio, its members are not automatically added to the new Portfolio.

  • Moving Projects: Projects can be moved between Portfolios via drag-and-drop. Only Admins and Project Owners (creators) can relocate projects across Portfolios.

  • Admin Requirements: Each Portfolio must have at least one Admin. If the sole Admin wishes to leave, they must appoint another Admin or the Team Owner before they can exit.

  • Deleting a Portfolio: Admins can delete a Portfolio, but note that this will also delete all projects within it. To preserve projects, archive them before deleting the Portfolio.

Creating Folders within Portfolios

A folder can be created within a portfolio to add another layer of organization within your workspace. folders group projects together without requiring the access controls of portfolios.

Unlike folders within Favorites, portfolio folders are a shared organizational tool, which is why only Admins and Owners can create them by default.

How to Create a Folder

To create a folder, hover over a portfolio to reveal the + icon.

From inside the plus menu, select Create a Folder. Name your folder and select Create.

Once created, you can drag-and-drop projects into the folder.

If a folder is deleted, the projects within it will return to the portfolio level of organization.
