After you have created your project so that it appears in your **Projects** list, you can open a project session to make changes to the project.

**To edit a project:**

1. Click the **Open session** icon to open the project in the editor specified the project.

2. Make your changes to the project, and save them locally. A badge is displayed on the **Commit Changes** icon to indicate that you’ve made changes that haven’t been committed to the server.

3. When you’re ready to update the repository with your changes, click the icon to [commit your changes](./commit-changes). If the project is shared, others will then be able to to access your changes, See [collaborating on projects](./collaborate) for important things to consider when working with others on shared projects.

4. When you’re done working with the project, click the **Stop session** icon. The session is listed in the **Audit Trail** for the project.

You can also leave a project session open, and click the **Return to session** when you’re ready to resume work.
