Projects

Create and manage workbench projects scoped to workspaces, teams, or organizations.

Projects

Projects are the top-level containers in the Workbench. Every notebook, event, and issue belongs to a project. Projects define the scope of your data quality work and control default settings like trust level.

Scope Types

Each project is scoped to one of three organizational levels:

ScopeDescriptionUse Case
WorkspacePersonal or single-user scopeIndividual exploration and prototyping
TeamShared across a teamCollaborative data quality workflows
OrganizationVisible to the entire organizationEnterprise-wide MDM governance

Active Notebook

Every project has an active notebook — the single notebook that is currently allowed to issue mutating tool calls. This constraint prevents conflicting writes from multiple notebooks operating on the same data simultaneously.

Note: Only the active notebook can execute tools that modify data. Other notebooks in the project are read-only until promoted to active.

To change the active notebook, open the project settings and select a different notebook from the list, or create a new one.

Default Trust Level

Projects define a default trust level that applies to all new notebooks created within them. Individual notebooks can override this default with a stricter or more permissive setting.

Warning: Setting a project's default trust to auto means new notebooks will execute tool calls without confirmation. Use this only in development or low-risk environments. See Trust for details.
