# Projects and Workspaces (/docs/verdent-cloud/workspace-and-tasks/projects-and-workspaces)

> Work with Cloud projects, workspaces, and sessions without relying on local folders.



A Cloud project is the top-level app or repository you are working on. A workspace is the active Cloud environment where files, terminals, previews, and tasks run. A session is an individual conversation or task inside that workspace.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open or create a project">
    Start from a template, use Design Mode, or connect a repository.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Work in a Cloud workspace">
    Files, terminal commands, previews, and agent edits happen in the Cloud workspace.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Use sessions for tasks">
    Keep separate conversations for different goals, bugs, experiments, or publish fixes.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  Cloud workspaces are not local workspace isolation. They are Cloud environments, so local installation and local system requirements do not apply.
