# Link Processing and Review - Discovery Manager

Reveal projects are created in both the Reveal processing and review environments. This article will provide instructions on how to link projects and clients between Reveal's processing and review environments. (For a discussion of creating a project in the Reveal review environment, see [***How to Create a Project***](/reveal/docs/create-a-project). For details about creating a project in Reveal's processing environment, see [***How to Create a Processing Project***](/reveal/docs/create-a-processing-project).

There are two options to link processing and review projects:

- when creating a new processing environment project, or
- when modifying the settings of an existing processing environment project.

## **When Creating a Project**

1. Click the **New Project****button on the Home tab to launch the *New Project Creation* (See ***How to Create a Processing Project*** for further details.)
2. The Project Location screen contains options for specifying
  1. a project settings **Template**,
  2. the **Client** under which the project will be created (see ***How to Create a Processing Client***),
  3. the **Client Matter** number,
  4. the **Project Name**,
  5. the project **Processing Folder** if different from default the Instance Default,
  6. the project **Export Base** location if different from default,
  7. the **Default Timezone** for the project, and
  8. **Associate with Review Case** - Checking this option allows users in the SaaS environment to push Discovery Manager Processing jobs directly to a defined Reveal review environment project, and for overlays to be performed as needed.*![156 - 02 - New Project Creation wizard-1](https://5796933.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hub/5796933/hubfs/DOCUMENTATION/ARTICLE%20SCREENSHOTS/156%20-%2002%20-%20New%20Project%20Creation%20wizard-1.png?width=1403&amp;quality=high)* **
    1. ***Existing Case*****– Select an existing Reveal review environment project from the drop-down menu enabled with this selection.
    2. ***Create New Case*****– Configure the project for the Reveal review environment by specifying:
      1. **Project ID** (which should match the Reveal processing environment ID);
      2. ***Company*** selected from a list available in the Reveal review environment instance;
      3. ***Database template*** selected from a list of available Reveal review environment project templates to set the framework for the review;
      4. ***Two-Factor Authentication*** checked for more secure standard Reveal access; and
      5. ***Document Level Security*** to administer access to individual documents on a granular level.
    3. Please contact your Reveal Success Coordinator to discuss this option in greater detail. Any change to the project name in Review will be picked up and applied to the related Processing project upon notification and approval of the user.
  9. **Finish****– The ***Finish*** button expedites the project creation process by jumping to the last page of the Project Wizard. This is typically used when a Template is selected and no settings need to be adjusted past the first wizard page.
