Within Teamwork.com, you can add project updates to keep your team informed of the project's status.

Project updates allow a message to be added to the project's Dashboard area so your team can see the project's current status or any updates at a glance.

Permission to view and add project updates can be enabled in individual user or collaborator's project permissions.

This menu can also be accessed via the Add button in the project's Dashboard area.

While viewing an individual project, you can also use the quick add menu to set an update. Click the Quick Add ( + icon) option in the main navigation menu on the left of your site. Hover over the More option and select Update.

You can also add an update when viewing the project's updates history.

In the project update modal, you can add the content for your update.

Note: There is a limit of 500 characters in place for project updates.

When adding a project update you can also choose a project health status. The corresponding color will be displayed alongside the update to quickly identify the health of the project.

You have the option to choose who to notify of the update. You can choose individual users, entire companies and teams, or select to notify everyone who can see updates on the project. Click Update to apply your notify options and return to the project update modal.

Select the Add Update button to post the update.

This will then add the update to your project's Dashboard area.

Depending on your permissions, you will see some additional options when you hover over the update:

If you are viewing the project in portfolio view, the update along with the project owner will be displayed on the relevant card.

Note: You can only edit a project update within 15 minutes of creating it.

When adding a project update, you can also set a project health status using the colored dots below the update field.

Site administrators can customize the corresponding text for each of these health statuses in the site settings area.

The projects list can be exported from the Projects section of your site. Click the Projects option in the main navigation menu on the left of your site and go to the List subsection.

In the List tab, click the three dots in the top right and select the Export option. You can then choose your preferred export format (PDF, HTML, Excel, or CSV).
