title: Project Collaboration Mode
 | 
						|

 |

:::info Availability
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The project collaboration mode is an enterprise-only feature that was introduced in **Unleash 4.22.0**.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
:::
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
A project's **collaboration mode** specifies **who can submit [change requests](change-requests.md)**. There are two collaboration modes:
 | 
						|
- [**open**](#open-collaboration-mode)
 | 
						|
- [**protected**](#protected-collaboration-mode)
 | 
						|
- [**private**](#private-collaboration-mode)
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## **Open** collaboration mode
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Anyone can submit change requests in an **open** project, regardless of their permissions within the project and globally. This is the default collaboration mode for projects.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The open collaboration mode is the default in Unleash and is how all projects worked in Unleash before the introduction of collaboration modes.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## **Protected** collaboration mode
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Only admins and project members can submit change requests in a **protected** project. Other users can not submit change requests.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## **Private** collaboration mode
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Private collaboration mode renders the project invisible to all **viewers** who are not project members. This means that **viewers** cannot see the project in the project list, nor can they access the project's features or locate the project anywhere within Unleash.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
**Editors** and **admins** can still see private projects.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### Change requests
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
When you change a project's collaboration mode from open to protected, users who do not have the right permissions will lose the ability to create new change requests.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
However, existing change requests created by these users will not be deleted. Any users with open change requests will still be able to cancel the change request, but they will **not** be able to update the change request.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Project collaboration mode setting
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The collaboration mode for a project can be set at the time of creation and modified at any subsequent time, found within the 'Enterprise Settings' section.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|

 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Since the collaboration mode is an integral feature of the project, the options to modify it can be found on the 'Project Settings' page.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|

 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Pre-existing projects
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Projects that were created in earlier versions of Unleash (before the release of project collaboration modes) get the **open** mode when they are migrated to a version of Unleash with project collaboration modes.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
To change the project collaboration mode for an existing project you have to edit the project.
