# Project Participants

**Project Participants** are individuals you want to include on all communications for a specific project. Participants will receive status updates, report delivery emails, and any project-related messages.

To manage participants, open the Messages panel and look for the participants' preview area. Click the "+" (Add) icon to open the menu.
