Projects are currently available on Pro, Scale, and Enterprise plans.
Projects in Elicit allow you to link together multiple sessions for fluid reasoning across different aspects of your work. Sessions within a project can see each other's artifacts and other content to help you switch between different session types without losing context.
Run a systematic review, and then continue with the research agent to further clarify or refine your research.
Get started chatting with the agent, and then start a systematic review once you've refined your research question.
Run multiple research agent sessions to produce similar tables or content with different focuses across your topic. Each agent will be able to view and access the context and artifacts from the other sessions to maintain consistency in formatting and help you work faster.
Projects allow you to stay organized and keep the context for all of your research on a specific subject in one place.
To start a new project, click New Project in the left sidebar:
To add an existing session to a project, click the three dots next to that session in the sidebar, click add to project, and then click the project you'd like to add it to.
Click on any project in the sidebar to open its project page, which holds all sessions, files, and artifacts in the project. New research agent sessions can also be started from there, inside the project.
Link a collection to a Project
A project can have one linked collection, which keeps the literature behind the work alongside the work itself. Open the project page and choose a collection to link.
Linking a collection does two things:
Research Agent sessions in the project prioritize the papers in that collection when they look for evidence.
Papers saved to your Library from inside the project go into that collection by default.
Any collection you have access to can be linked, including one a colleague shared with you. Someone joining the project later opens the linked collection to see the evidence the team is working from, not just the finished output, and can ask the agent follow-up questions against that same set of papers straight away.
Sharing a project
Open the project and use the Share button to share a project with someone else.
Pro plans: share a project with specific people by entering their email addresses.
Scale and Enterprise plans: share with specific people, or with your whole team at once.
Sharing a project does not on its own share the collection linked to it. Share that collection separately if colleagues should be able to open the papers behind the work. See Share your workflows for the full sharing options.
Projects shared with you
A project someone shares with you does not appear in your sidebar on its own. Instead:
A green dot on Recents in the left sidebar tells you something new has been shared with you.
Click on Shared to view all of the projects shared with your entire team (Scale and Enterprise plans) and open them.
Projects and other sessions shared with you also appear on your Recents page under the "Shared with you" tab.
