   Project updates are snippets of information that can be used to provide project followers and general users with ongoing updates. Project updates can be simple copy updates, or through the use of blocks and groups, can be more comprehensive.

Create a project update
-----------------------

To create a project update for your project:

1. In the left-hand menu bar, click **Projects**. This displays a list of all existing projects.
2. Click on a **Title** to open a project.
3. In the project sub-menu, under **Content**, click **Updates**. This shows all the updates created for this project.
4. Click on the **+** icon located on the right hand side of the screen.
5. Add a **Title**.
6. Add a **Summary**.
7. Add **Body**. This is the detail of your update. Editing updates has the same functionality as editing your main project page. You can use the text editor to add rich text, and add blocks to add other kinds of content. For more information about the text editor see [How to use the Rich Content editor](/articles/9180044670223-How-to-use-the-Rich-Content-editor)[.](https://docs.district.au/district-engage/product-guides/working-with-content/how-to-use-the-wysiwyg-editor)
8. Use blocks (**Add block**) or groups (**Add group)** to add further content if required. For more information about content blocks, see [How to use content blocks and groups](/articles/9179124696591-How-to-use-content-blocks-and-groups)[.](https://docs.district.au/district-engage/product-guides/working-with-content/how-to-use-content-blocks-and-groups)
9. **Add an Image** to your update (this is optional). This image will display on the Updates tab of your main project page.
10. Once you've finished editing, click **Publish**.

Where do project updates display on the site?
---------------------------------------------

Creating an update automatically add an 'Updates' tab to your frontend project page. This tab will list all the project updates.
