Refer to our guide below on creating a Datagen project. [Embedded content](https://akridata-ai.portal.trainn.co/share/Y7xR8etzCjimkRAK3rC4rg/embed?mode=interactive) ## Create a project 1. Select **Data Copilot** > **Synthetic Data** > **Generation Projects** from the left navigation pane. 2. In the **Generation Projects** screen, click **Add Project**. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/3e9d4528-fbc6-4948-a804-8ee7068e7ac3/Images/Documentation/generation-projects-create-new.jpg) 3. In the **Add Project** window, provide **Name** and **Description**. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/3e9d4528-fbc6-4948-a804-8ee7068e7ac3/Images/Documentation/add-datagen-projects.jpg) 4. Select any existing project, if needed, based on which you want to clone the new project. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/3e9d4528-fbc6-4948-a804-8ee7068e7ac3/Images/Documentation/datagen-clone.jpg) 5. To receive notifications on training and generation session executions, enter one or more email addresses by entering the email address and pressing **Enter**. By default the email notifications will be sent to the user who is creating this project. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/3e9d4528-fbc6-4948-a804-8ee7068e7ac3/Images/Documentation/notification-emails.jpg) 6. Click **Next**to add a dataset to the project. The generated images will be added to the attached dataset. 7. Under the **Attach a dataset** tab: - Create a new dataset and attach: 1. In the **Attach Dataset** window, click **+Create New**. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/3e9d4528-fbc6-4948-a804-8ee7068e7ac3/Images/Documentation/add-project-dataset.jpg) 2. Enter a suitable **Name** for the dataset. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/3e9d4528-fbc6-4948-a804-8ee7068e7ac3/Images/Documentation/dataset-name(1).jpg) 3. Review the **Pipeline Summary**, and customize it if needed. It is worth noting that only specific pipelines are eligible for attachment to a datagen project. 4. Under **Accept License**, review and accept. 5. Click **Create** to create and attach the new dataset and create the new datagen project successfully. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/3e9d4528-fbc6-4948-a804-8ee7068e7ac3/Images/Documentation/project-created-successfully.jpg) If you had selected an existing project to clone the inputs from, the new project gets created with the data available in the existing project, as follows: ![](https://cdn.document360.io/3e9d4528-fbc6-4948-a804-8ee7068e7ac3/Images/Documentation/datagen-project-created.jpg) - Attach an existing dataset: 1. Under the **Attach Dataset** tab, select a dataset from the **Select Dataset** drop-down. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/3e9d4528-fbc6-4948-a804-8ee7068e7ac3/Images/Documentation/existing-dataset.jpg) 2. Click **Create**. The dataset gets attached and the project gets created successfully. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/3e9d4528-fbc6-4948-a804-8ee7068e7ac3/Images/Documentation/project-created-successfully.jpg) > [!NOTE] > Skip > > You can click **Skip** to attach the dataset to your project anytime later. ## Attach the dataset to an existing project If you skipped attaching a dataset while creating a project, you can attach the dataset at any time later. 1. In the **Generation Projects** screen, on the project card, click the three dots. 2. Click **Attach Dataset**. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/3e9d4528-fbc6-4948-a804-8ee7068e7ac3/Images/Documentation/datagen-attach-dataset.jpg) 3. In the **Attach Dataset** window, attach a dataset the same way you did while creating a project. 1. Create a new dataset and attach it to the project. 2. Attach an existing dataset to the project. ## Detach dataset from a project If you want to remove or detach a dataset from the project: 1. On the project card, click the three dots, and click **Detach Dataset**. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/3e9d4528-fbc6-4948-a804-8ee7068e7ac3/Images/Documentation/datagen-detach-dataset.jpg) 2.
