== Project Builder ==
Zooniverse supports Project Builder, a tool that allows anyone to create their own project by uploading a dataset of images, video files or sound files. In Project Builder a Project Owner creates a workflow for the projects, a tutorial, a field guide and the talk forum of the Project and can add collaborators, researchers and moderators to their project. The moderators for example will have partial [[Superuser|administrator rights]] in the talk, but cannot change anything concerning the workflow.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://help.zooniverse.org/getting-started/|title=How to create a project with our Project Builder - Zooniverse Help|website=help.zooniverse.org|access-date=2019-11-11|archive-date=11 November 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191111212946/https://help.zooniverse.org/getting-started/|url-status=live}}</ref>
