## Task Mining home portal

The Task Mining home portal now provides access to Task Mining for customers. Users can complete the following actions:

1. **Browse** through your **existing projects** of Task Mining and **search** according to your needs.
2. **Add** **project**.

From now on, this is a place for you to get started with a new project as well as a storage space for the existing work!

   ![Task Mining Projects page](https://dev-assets.cms.uipath.com/assets/images/task-mining/task-mining-task-mining-projects-page-290975-944ed4fd-447a372a.webp)

These initiatives are called **Projects**. **Projects** are process discovery instances done in a limited environment with a certain number of users and a specific time frame.

The service's Home page enables you, as the Company Admin, to create multiple discovery initiatives by clicking the **Add project** option.

## Start a new project

1. In the project dashboard, select **Add Project**. The new project page is displayed allowing you to set up a new data capturing project.
2. Add a suitable name for your project in the **Project name** box and enter as many details as possible in the **description** box. Select **Save** to continue.
