Projects and sources
What is a project in Nouswise?
A project is the container for your sources, chat history, saved notes, and generated outputs.
Why did Nouswise create a new URL when I selected a source?
Selecting a source in Create Project creates and opens a new project URL (/c/<project-id>).
Can one source be reused in multiple projects?
Yes. Use Attach Files -> Choose from library to reuse sources.
How do I add more files after project creation?
Open your project, then use Sources -> Attach Files.
Why is chat using the wrong context?
You likely have unrelated sources attached. Remove irrelevant sources and retry.
What does “Restricted” project access mean?
Only users with explicit access can open the project link.
What does “Anyone with the link” mean?
Anyone with the URL can open the shared project.
