[Netlify Drop](https://app.netlify.com/drop) has a refreshed look, with even more support for your questions and guidance on what’s next after you drop your latest site or app.

We first launched Netlify Drop 13 years ago when we introduced the web to a simpler way to deploy your web project and get a custom link for it.

Since that time we’ve learned a lot about how people (and now agents) use Drop. You can learn more from our [official blog post revisiting Netlify Drop](https://www.netlify.com/blog/thirteen-years-of-netlify-drop/) and how it’s evolved over time.

## Same core functionality with more context

The newly improved Drop page keeps the same core functionality, letting you drag and drop your project files or folder, while making it easier for you or an agent to find answers along the way.

For example, did you know Netlify can detect your framework and run a build step for you?

You don’t have to build your project first. If you drop a project folder that uses a framework requiring a build, we’ll direct you to log in first, then take care of the build step for you.

## Try it out

Try it out at [app.netlify.com/drop](https://app.netlify.com/drop).

## After you drop

After you drop a project, claim it to keep your project online and join millions of others, from solo builders to global brands, who manage their sites and apps on Netlify.

After you claim your project, you can keep building in your preferred workflow.

We’ve got you covered with more ways than ever to keep building and deploying:

-   [Keep dropping](https://docs.netlify.com/build/build-with-ai/agent-runners/make-changes-with-agent-runners/) to update the same production URL
-   [Push your deployed project to a newly created GitHub repo](https://docs.netlify.com/build/git-workflows/create-a-repo-from-netlify/)
-   Keep deploying with dev tools, such as our [CLI](https://docs.netlify.com/api-and-cli-guides/cli-guides/get-started-with-cli/) or [API](https://docs.netlify.com/api-and-cli-guides/api-guides/get-started-with-api/)
-   [Keep developing with popular AI agents](https://docs.netlify.com/build/build-with-ai/agent-runners/overview/) directly from your Netlify dashboard using Agent Runners

From there you can keep launching with confidence, [undo mistakes (even without Git)](https://docs.netlify.com/deploy/manage-deploys/manage-deploys-overview/#rollbacks), build with a team, and grow to any size, all starting from a drop.
