I recently added two submissions to iNat, but forgot to add them to one of my projects. Is there any way to go back to them to do that? ---

There is info here about how to add an observation to a traditional project: [https://help.inaturalist.org/en/support/solutions/articles/151000222535-how-can-i-add-an-observation-to-a-project-](https://help.inaturalist.org/en/support/solutions/articles/151000222535-how-can-i-add-an-observation-to-a-project-) You can’t add observations to collection projects, they are added automatically if the observation meets the criteria of the project. ---
