Before uploading images, you need to create a project. VeryBusy is structured around projects because each project holds its own set of assets, feedback, and revision rounds. This keeps every batch of work contained in a single place, from the first upload through every round of review.
⚠️ Important: Only users on a 30-day free trial or those who are members of a paid workspace can create projects. For more information on workspaces and setting them up, see Creating Your Account & Workspace Setup.
Steps for Creating a Project
1. Start from the My Projects dashboard
When you sign up and log in for the first time, the My Projects page will be empty. You will see a large tile in the center that says Create First Project. You will also see a blue Create Project button at the top of the dashboard.
Both options open the same project creation modal.
2. Create Project modal
Click Create Project or Create First Project.
A modal will appear with two required fields.
