Projects dashboard
==================

Projects are the core of your work in Rana. Each project serves as a container for all related data,
processes, and results tied to a specific study area or research goal.

Within a project, you can define your study area, run simulations, manage datasets, and store outputs
all in one organized place. This structure allows you to keep your workflows clear, reproducible,
and separated from other work.

Projects also make collaboration easier, helping teams stay aligned by sharing a common workspace with
shared data and process history.
