# Adding files to an existing project

If you already have an existing project, you can add selected files to it. To add files to an existing project:

1. Run a search using the search bar. Please refer to the **Searching in ZSearch** page for details on searching.
2. Review the search results
3. Select one or more files using the checkbox next to each result

Once at least one file is selected, ZSearch displays project-related actions above the results list.

5. Choose an existing project from the list
6. Confirm to add the files

This allows users to continuously expand a project as new relevant documents are discovered.
