Project settings give you a straightforward way to manage the core aspects of your app, from naming and visibility to backups and project knowledge. Everything is grouped in one place so you can review options, make updates, and keep your project organized as it grows.

​
Access project settings

You can access Project settings by clicking the gear icon in the top center of your screen, then clicking All project settings.
Project settings include the following components:
  • Analytics
  • Project General settings
  • Domains and Hosting
  • Project Knowledge
  • Project Backups
The database-related settings you might see, including Database, Authentication, Server Functions, Secrets, User Management, and File Storage, are not yet available in Bolt.

​
Analytics

To learn more about analytics for your published project, see Analytics.

​
General settings

Screenshot of Project Settings Window in Bolt The General Project Settings page is where you can rename your project, switch agents, clear context, and change the project visibility. See the sections below for further information.

​
Rename the project

You can rename your project by clicking the project title while working in the project, or on the General Project Settings page. Simply type a new name in the text field, then click Save.

​
Project Agent

To switch between agents, click your preferred agent and confirm.
Switching agents clears your project chat history.

​
Context

Clicking the Clear context red text will clear Bolt’s short-term memory of your project.

​
Change the project visibility

Project visibility controls who can view your project’s URL inside the Bolt interface.
Bolt projects are Private by default.
There are three levels of project visibility you can choose from:
  • Private – Only the project owner can view; they must be logged in to Bolt, and the project is hidden from everyone else.
  • Secret – Anyone with the direct link can view; the project is not shown on the owner’s StackBlitz profile page (stackblitz.com/@[your-username]).
  • Public – Anyone with the direct link can view; the project is shown on the owner’s StackBlitz profile page (stackblitz.com
    When you set your project to Public, the Bolt project URL becomes publicly accessible and may appear in search engine results.
This section allows you to set project-specific additional context to the AI and instructions on how to behave. For example, you can specify technologies or locations to pull icons or imagery from, like the example below: 
For all designs I ask you to make, have them be beautiful, not cookie cutter. Make webpages that are fully featured and worthy for production.

By default, this template supports JSX syntax with Tailwind CSS classes, the shadcn/ui library, React hooks, and Lucide React for icons. Do not install other packages for UI themes, icons, etc unless absolutely necessary or I request them.

Use icons from lucide-react for logos.

Use stock photos from unsplash where appropriate.

​
Project Knowledge

Project Knowledge gives you a steady layer of background instructions that Bolt follows whenever you’re working inside a specific project. It gives Bolt a reliable sense of context, allowing you to include things like goals, style expectations, terminology, constraints, and workflow habits. Instead of repeating these details in every prompt, you can place them in Project Knowledge so the model can use them automatically. To access Project Knowledge, click the gear icon in the top center of your screen, then click All project settings. In the left menu, then click Knowledge. Example prompt: When creating UI elements, use modular CSS or lightweight inline styles that keep components easy to reuse. Favor layouts built with flexbox or grid so they adapt smoothly without extra configuration.
You can also set Knowledge that applies to all of your projects in your Personal Settings. Anything added there takes priority over Project Knowledge.

​
Backups

You can restore your project to an automatically saved backup from the Backups page in your Project Settings as well as using Bolt’s Version History feature.
In general, Bolt recommends using Version History to switch between project versions.
Restore from a backup
  1. Click the gear icon in the top center of your screen, then click All project settings.
  2. Click Backups.
  3. Find the backup with the date and time you want.
  4. Click Load next to that backup.
  5. In the confirmation window, click Create Fork.
Result: This creates a new version of your project using the backup, without erasing the current version

​
Domains & Hosting

This section allows you to choose your default hosting provider and perform a number of domain and hosting-related activities. For detailed information, see their respective Domains and Hosting sections in the Bolt Help Center.
