# Managing Clients

Clients are the people or organisations you do work for. Every project in Arkata belongs to a client, so you'll typically add a client before creating their projects.

## Adding a new client

1. Go to **Clients** in the sidebar
2. Click **New Client**
3. Fill in the client name (required) and any other details
4. Click **Save**

## Editing a client

1. Click on the client in your clients list
2. Update any fields you need to change
3. Changes save automatically or when you confirm

## Searching for clients

Use the search bar at the top of the Clients page to find clients by name. The client picker in other parts of Arkata (like when creating a project) also supports search.

## Deleting a client

<Warning>
  You cannot delete a client that has projects attached. Archive or remove the projects first.
</Warning>

If a client has no projects, you can delete them from the client detail page.
