The Manage Project dialog lets you manage autocomplete summaries and Details Snippets, as well as entry templates.
Here you can also set passwords to enter when opening or editing a project.
All settings here apply only to their project and you can export most content to other projects or import from other project.
Autocomplete Summaries and Details Snippets
In the Autocomplete tab you an add, edit and remove saved summaries that can be suggested by Keeping Time when you create a new entry.
You can also do the same for pre-saved snippets which you can input into a details section of an entry.

Entry Templates
If you use very similar entries over and over again (like for example overtime directly after your regular work time ends), you can save entries as templates. These save all fields but the date and can be populated into a new entry with a single click.
The Templates area lets you manage these templates for timelists and unitlists.

Settings
In the settings tab, you can set the project to save its window size and position internally, as well as protect opening and editing the project with a password.
Save and Restore Size and Positon
If checked, the size and position of all windows of this project will be saved inside the project and recalled from it.
If unchecked, size and position will be recalled globally for all projects from the application settings.
Use this preference if you routinely work with multiple projects which you want to always see at their respective unique screen position. Note that if you open projects on a different system, their windows might be out of bounds. Holding Shift while opening a project will ignore the saved values and use the defaults.
Password Protection
While Keeping Time deliberately uses a completely open file format, sometimes it is good to be able to protect your project.
You can opt here to require a password to open the project. If enabled, the password must be entered when attempting to open the project. The project content will not be visible until the password is entered correctly.
Requiring a password to edit the project will allow it to load (unless the former option is enabled, too), but it will be write-protected. Making any changes requires entering the password.
Note that these are just basic measures to prevent immediate access. Project are (and will be) fully open, so this will not prevent people from loading the project in a text editor!
