Project Settings

Project Settings let you control how your project is named, displayed, and configured. You can access settings from inside any project.

Opening project settings​

  1. Open your project
  2. Click the Project Settings icon (gear) in the workspace toolbar

The Project Settings modal opens with several tabs in the left sidebar:

  • Settings — Project name, thumbnail, description, clone, and remove
  • Domains — Custom domain configuration. Web App projects only. See Publishing and Domains
  • GitHub — Connect your project to a GitHub repository. Web App projects only, and appears once your project's code is ready. See Connecting GitHub
  • Knowledge — Custom context and instructions the AI will use. Web App projects only. See Knowledge Base
  • Supabase — Manage an existing Supabase backend connection. Only appears on Web App projects that were connected to Supabase previously
note

You won't always see every tab. Most tabs are specific to Web App projects — on Docs, Slides, Images, and AI Chat projects, Settings is usually the only one. What you can see also depends on your role: Viewers see less than Editors.

For new backend features, see Buildify Cloud rather than the Supabase tab.

Settings tab​

Project name​

You can rename your project at any time. The name appears on your dashboard, in your project folder, and in the project's public URL (if applicable).

To rename: edit the Project Name field and click Rename Project.

Project info​

The Settings tab shows basic info about your project: name, owner, created date, and number of edits.

Website details (Web App only)​

  • Description — A short summary of the project. Click Save to apply changes.
  • Icon — A small icon shown alongside the project on dashboards and listings. Click the icon swatch to choose a new one.

Project thumbnail​

Each project displays a thumbnail image on your dashboard. By default, Buildify auto-generates a thumbnail from your project. To replace it, click the thumbnail image and upload a new one.

Hide "Build with Buildify" tag (Web App only)​

Toggle this to hide the small "Build with Buildify" tag that appears on published sites by default.

Clone Project​

Click Clone Project to create a copy of the project with the same code and content. Useful for experimenting with a new direction without affecting the original.

Remove Project​

Click Remove Project at the bottom of the Settings tab to permanently delete the project.

warning

Removal is permanent. All code, content, and history associated with the project will be removed and cannot be recovered.
