# How can I Add a Design to a Project?

**Overview**

Adding a design to a project allows you to create system layouts, schematics, rack drawings, floor plans, and other technical documentation directly within the project. This ensures that your drawings are linked to the correct BOM and proposal.


* On the **My Projects** page, open the required project in which you want to add a design.

* All products with port information will appear as blocks with ports in the editor; you must manually create the connections between them, and you can search and add more products using the **Product Block** feature.
* After making the necessary changes, click on the **Unsaved Changes** button to save your work.
