Project settings

From the Vercel dasboard, there are two areas where you can configure settings:

• Team Settings: Any settings configured here, are applied at the team-level, although you can select which project's the settings should be set for.
• Project Settings: These are specific settings, accessed through the project dashboard, that are only scoped to the selected project. You can make changes about all areas relating to your project, including domains, functions, log drains, integrations, Git, caching, environment variables, deployment protection, and security.

This guide focuses on the project settings. To edit project settings:

1. Ensure you have selected your Team from the scope selector.
2. Choose a project from the dashboard.
3. Select the Settings tab.
4. Find the settings you need and make changes.

While many settings can be set from the dashboard, you can also define a vercel.json file at the project root that allows you to set and override the default behavior of your project.

To learn more, see Configuring projects with vercel.json.

This provides all the foundational information and settings for your Vercel project, including the name, build and deployment settings, the directory where your code is located, the Node.js version, Project ID, toolbar settings, and more.

You can add custom domains for each project.

Log drains are a Pro and Enterprise feature that allows you to send logs to external services. Log Drains are created at the team-level, but you can manage them on a per-project level from the project settings.

To learn more, see the Log Drains documentation.

From your project's security settings you can enable or disable Attack Challenge Mode, Logs and Source Protection, Customer Success Code Visibility Git Fork Protection, and set a retention policy for your deployments.
