Project settings
Project settings is where you manage everything about a single project, like its name, web address, and how it's shared. You can find these settings by clicking your project name in the editor or using the chat actions menu.
Anyone working on a Lovable project needs this to customize how their app behaves and appears.
Do this, in order
- 1
Open your project in the Lovable editor.
You need to be inside the project you want to change settings for.
- 2
Click the project name in the top bar of the editor and select 'Settings', or open the 'Chat actions' menu (plus button) and choose 'Settings', or press Cmd+. (Mac) / Ctrl+. (Windows/Linux).
This opens the Project settings menu where all project-specific options are located.
- 3
Navigate through the tabs (General, Git, Domains, Knowledge, Skills) and sections to find the specific setting you want to change.
Settings are organized into categories for easier access, such as renaming your project under 'General' or connecting a custom web address under 'Domains'.
Paste this into your project
Please open my project settings. I want to change the project name to 'My Awesome App' and update the URL subdomain to 'awesome-app'.
Words decoded
- Subdomain
- The part of a web address that comes before the main domain, like 'myproject' in 'myproject.lovable.app'.
- Workspace
- A shared area where you and your team organize multiple projects and collaborate.
- Git
- A system that tracks changes in computer code, allowing multiple people to work on the same project and keep a history of all modifications.
- Repository
- A central place where all the code and history for a project are stored, often used with Git.
- Custom domain
- Your own personalized web address (like 'mycompany.com') that you can use instead of the default Lovable address.
Where people get stuck
- Deleting a project is permanent and cannot be undone; make sure to download your code or make a copy first if you might need it later.
- Changing your project's URL subdomain will break old links to your published app, so users will need the new address.
- Access control (who can view or edit your project) is managed in the 'Share' menu, not in Project settings.
- Moving a project to another workspace might remove direct collaborators or reset its access settings, so check these after the move.
