A design project stored in a Workspace, normally under its built-in version control, such as a PCB project. It groups the design documents that together define one implementation of a product, along with its project parameters and variants; it is the source from which releases are made and from which Managed BOMs can be created.

## In the product

- [Workspace Projects](https://www.altium.com/documentation/altium-365/workspace-projects) (primary)
- [Creating Projects and Documents](https://www.altium.com/documentation/altium-designer/creating-projects-documents)
- Term: **Workspace project** (exact; altium-365, altium-designer)
- Term: **design project** (related; altium-designer, altium-365)

## In the API

- Platform API type: [`DesProject`](https://altiumdeveloper.github.io/platform-api-docs/types/objects/DesProject/) (object)

## GRID
