### Open workspace projects

1. **Open** a workspace from the [Dashboard](../dashboard.md)
2. **Select** **Projects** from the workspace actions
3. Review the workspace name and project group shown at the top of the page

The **Projects** page provides the following controls:

- **Search Projects** finds projects by name.
- **Status** filters projects by status.
- **Sort By** changes the order of the project cards.
- **Grid view** and **List view** change the project layout.
- **New Project** starts the project-creation workflow.
- Pagination moves between pages when more projects are available.

Each project card can show its name, status, completion state, completion percentage, creator, and creation date. Select a project card or its **Open project** link to open the project.
