# Managing Elements within a Project

## Overview

Designer Elements within a Project are customizable in several different ways. Items within a Project can be moved to other Projects, copied to other Projects, and adjusted depending on which Accounts or Groups have access to those elements. This allows the user to tailor the Project to their exact needs.
