A project is the top-level container for your work in Autype. Think of it as a folder that holds everything related to a specific document or set of documents.

​
What a project contains

Documents

The actual content you write — your Markdown, sections, and styling. Each project has one primary document.

Variables

Dynamic placeholders like {{company}} or {{logo}} that can be set per export or via API. Defined at the project level.

Version history

Every edit is tracked. Automatic versions on session end, manual snapshots anytime. Full diff view and one-click restore.

Assets

Images, logos, and other files used in the document. Managed within the project context.

​
Projects and organizations

Projects always belong to an organization. This means:
  • All team members with the right role can access the project
  • API keys scoped to the organization can interact with any project
  • Token costs for rendering are charged to the organization’s balance

​
Working with projects

​
In the editor

You create and manage projects from the Autype workspace. Each project opens in the full editor with all its content, variables, and history.

​
Via the API

The Developer API provides endpoints to list projects and use them for rendering:
  • List projects — GET /projects returns all projects in your organization
  • Get variables — GET /documents/{id}/variables returns the variable definitions for a document
  • Render — POST /render generates a document from a project’s content with optional variable overrides
  • Bulk render — POST /bulk-render generates multiple documents with different variable sets
For step-by-step instructions on creating and managing projects, see the Guides. For API details, see the Developer API.
