Create or edit a project or proposal

In Project Web App, you can create a new project or proposal, or edit an existing one, in the Project Center. The process for creating a new project or proposal is slightly different from the process for editing an existing one.

Create a new project or proposal

1. On the Quick Launch, under Projects, click Project Center.

2. On the Ribbon, click the down arrow below New, and then choose how you want to create the new project or proposal. You can choose to use an existing SharePoint list, or you can use one of the enterprise project types.

3. On the project detail page that appears, type the appropriate information in the Name, Description, Start Date, and Owner boxes, and then click Save.

4. Complete as much information as you can on the project detail pages that follow. After completing a page, click Save, and then click Previous or Next on the Ribbon to navigate between project detail pages.

5. To change the enterprise project type, click Change EPT, and then choose a different type on the box that appears.

6. If the project or proposal is associated with a workflow with multiple stages, you can click Submit to kick off the workflow once you've added as much information as you can on the project detail pages.
