# Create a NOCK Project and Get Your Feedback Widget Token

> A NOCK project maps to one website or app and holds its own widget token. Learn how to create a project and copy the token you need for installation.

A project in NOCK represents a single website or application. When you create a project, NOCK generates a unique **project token** — the identifier that ties the feedback widget on your site to the right inbox in your Dashboard. If you run multiple products or environments (for example, a marketing site and a web app), create a separate project for each one.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the Projects screen">
    Inside your workspace, click **Projects** in the left sidebar. Then click the **New Project** button in the top-right corner.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Name your project">
    Give the project a clear, descriptive name. This name appears on every ticket that comes in through the widget, so your team always knows which product the feedback belongs to.

    **Naming ideas:**

    * Match the product name (`Acme App`, `Marketing Site`, `Admin Portal`)
    * Include the environment if you separate them (`Acme App – Production`, `Acme App – Staging`)
    * Avoid generic names like `Project 1` — they become confusing fast

    <Tip>
      Create one project per deployable environment if you want feedback from staging and production to flow into separate inboxes. That way test submissions never pollute your production ticket list.
    </Tip>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set the project URL (optional)">
    You can provide the base URL of your website (e.g. `https://app.acme.com`). NOCK uses this to validate incoming feedback and to populate quick-links in your Dashboard. You can skip this and add it later in **Project Settings**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create the project">
    Click **Create Project**. NOCK creates the project and takes you straight to its overview page.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Copy your project token">
    Your unique project token is displayed prominently on the project overview page. You'll also find it under **Settings → Widget** at any time.

    <Note>
      Keep your project token private — treat it like an API key. Don't commit it to public repositories. Anyone who has the token can submit feedback to your project's inbox.
    </Note>

    Copy the token now; you'll paste it into the widget script tag in the next step.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Finding your token later

If you ever need to retrieve your project token again:

1. Open the project from the **Projects** list in your workspace.
2. Navigate to **Settings → Widget**.
3. Your token is shown in the **Installation** section, already embedded in the ready-to-copy script tag.

<Warning>
  Rotating your token (generating a new one) will immediately break any existing widget installations that use the old token. Update every installation before rotating.
</Warning>

## What's next?

You have a project and a token — now it's time to embed the widget in your site.
