Projects and rooms
Create and set up projects, organise them into rooms, and archive, delete or hand over a project you no longer need.
Les articles d’aide sont pour l’instant en anglais. Le reste de RenovU est dans votre langue.
A project holds everything about one renovation: its rooms, tasks, budget, spending, photos, floorplan and the people working on it. Rooms split a project by where the work happens, so tasks, budgets and photos can be grouped by them.
Where to find your projects#
- Projects, in the top bar or the phone's tab bar, lists every project you own or have joined, newest first, with a search.
- The project switcher in the top bar jumps between them from any screen.
- The Dashboard shows a card for each active project.
Inside a project, its pages are tabs under its name. Project details, rooms, the project's link, archiving and deleting are all on its Settings tab, which owners and admins can see.
A project's life#
- Create it, blank or from a template.
- Set it up: property details, currency, rooms and a budget.
- Mark it Completed when the work's done, if you like, using its Status.
- Archive it to take it off your dashboard and lists, with everything kept.
- Delete it when you no longer need it. Only the owner can, and it can't be undone.
You can also hand a project over to someone else on it, who then becomes its owner.
Plans and the project limit#
The number of projects you can own depends on your plan. By default:
- Free: 1 project
- Premium: 1 project
- Professional: unlimited projects
Every project you own counts, including completed and archived ones. Deleting a project frees its place. Projects you've joined as a member don't count towards your limit: they count towards their owner's. See Pricing for the current limits.
The project's activity#
Every change to a project is recorded on its Activity tab, so you can see who did what and when.

Questions
How many projects can I have?
By default, Free and Premium include 1 project and Professional includes unlimited projects. Every project you own counts, including completed and archived ones. Projects you've joined as a member count towards their owner's plan, not yours. See Pricing for the current limits.
Does archiving a project free up a place on my plan?
No. An archived project keeps everything in it, so it still counts towards your plan's projects. Deleting a project frees its place, but it can't be undone. See Archive or unarchive a project and Delete a project.
Can I get a deleted project back?
No. There's no bin for projects, so a deleted project can't be restored. If you might need it again, archive it instead. Deleted tasks are different: they stay in the project's bin for 30 days. See Delete a project.
Why can't I change my project's currency?
A project's currency is fixed once money is recorded against it: budgets, expenses or material costs. Those amounts were converted at the rates of the day. To change the currency, delete the project's budgets and expenses first. See Budgets and expenses.
Can I make a project public?
Not yet. Public project pages are coming later, so every project is private: only you and the people you invite can see it. To show progress to someone who isn't on the project, create a share link. See Timeline and exports.
Why is my project read-only?
A project becomes read-only when its owner's account has more projects than their plan includes, for example after moving to a lower plan. Nothing in it is deleted and everyone can still open it and see its photos, but nothing can change. The owner can make it the active project in Settings, under Billing, delete another project, or upgrade. See Plans and billing.
Why can't I see a project's Settings tab?
The Settings tab is for the project's owner and admins. If you're a Contributor, Assigned only or a Viewer, ask the owner or an admin to make the change, or to change your role. See Team and roles.
How do I leave a project I own?
An owner can't leave their own project. Hand it to another member first, then leave it from the Members tab. See Transfer ownership of a project. Or, if nobody needs it, delete it.
