# Projects and submittals

> Create a job in BuildX Studio, add submittals with PDF drawings, set submittal status, and invite your team to the job.

Source: https://docs.buildx.pro/docs/studio/projects-submittals/

Projects live at studio.mybuildx.com/projects. A project is one job. Inside it, each **submittal** is a package of PDF drawings for one spec section, such as structural steel shop drawings under "05 12 00". Anyone signed in to Studio can create projects.

## What you can do

- **New Project**, then search and filter your projects by **Active**, **On Hold**, or **Complete**, in grid or list view.
- **Edit** a project's name, number, status, address, customer, and general contractor.
- **New Submittal** with a name, spec section, and PDF drawings.
- Move a submittal through **Draft**, **Submitted**, **In Review**, **Revise & Resubmit**, **Approved**, and **Approved as Noted**.
- **Invite** teammates to one job from the **Team** tab.

## Create a project

1. Go to **Projects** and click **New Project**.
2. Fill in **Project Name** (required). Optional: **Project Number**, **Status** (defaults to **Active**), **Project Address**, **Client / Customer**, **General Contractor**.
3. Click **Create Project**. The project page opens.

## Add a submittal

1. On the project page, click **New Submittal**.
2. Enter **Submittal Name** (required) and **Spec Section** (for example "05 12 00").
3. Under **Drawing Files (Optional)**, drag in PDFs or click to browse. PDF only, up to 50 MB each.
4. Click **Create Submittal**. New submittals start as **Draft**.

To add more drawings later, open the submittal and click **Upload Files**. See [Revisions and redlines](https://docs.buildx.pro/docs/studio/revisions.md) for comparing them.

## The project page

The header shows the job number, status, customer, address, and three counts: % complete (revision items done), submittals awaiting approval, and open high-priority items. Shortcut buttons jump to **Submittals**, **Findings**, **Takeoff**, **Estimate**, and **Leveling**.

Tabs:

- **Submittals**: each with its status, spec section, **Rev** number, and last update. The ⋮ menu has **View Details**, **Edit** (name, spec section, status), and **Delete**.
- **Revision Log**: every revision item on the job with its sheet, priority, and status.
- **Activity**: recent actions on the job, such as redline analyses, exports, and invites.
- **Costs**: awarded bids against purchase orders by trade (**Awarded bid total**, **Actual cost total**, **Variance**). See [Purchasing](https://docs.buildx.pro/docs/studio/purchasing.md).
- **Team**: who can see this job.

## Change a submittal's status

1. On the **Submittals** tab, open the ⋮ menu on the submittal and choose **Edit**.
2. Pick a **Status** and save. Approved and Approved as Noted count as approved on the Projects list.

## Invite your team to a job

1. Open the project's **Team** tab and click **Invite** (only the project lead sees this button).
2. Enter the **Email address**, pick **Member** or **Admin**, and click **Send Invitation**.
3. The person joins the job the next time they sign in to Studio with that email. Pending invites show under **Pending Invitations** with their expiry; the trash icon cancels one.

The project lead shows with a **Lead** badge. Studio team access is per job and separate from your MyBuildX team ([Team](https://docs.buildx.pro/docs/account/team.md)).

## Good to know

- Deleting a project removes every submittal, drawing, revision item, takeoff row, bid, crew, and purchase order on it, for everyone. It can't be undone. Only the project lead sees **Delete project** in the **Edit** dialog.
- Deleting a submittal removes its drawings, revision items, and takeoff rows.
- Studio's Starter limits apply: 3 active jobs and 10 new submittals a month. See [Getting into Studio](https://docs.buildx.pro/docs/studio/getting-in.md).
- Studio projects are separate from jobs in MyBuildX.
