# Download your project using the CLI
A generated [Atomic](https://docs.coveo.com/en/lcdf0264/) search page is a great starting point, whether you [created it](https://docs.coveo.com/en/atomic/latest/usage/manage-project/create-an-atomic-project/) using the **Simple builder** in the [Coveo Administration Console](https://docs.coveo.com/en/183/) or locally using the [Coveo CLI](https://docs.coveo.com/en/cli/).
Often, however, your search page will need to be further customized by developers.

You can work locally with a page that was created in the [Administration Console](https://docs.coveo.com/en/183/) by downloading it using the Coveo CLI.

> **Warning**
>
> You can't download a page that you created using the Coveo CLI.
> You should rather handle such a project with a source control system like Git.

. (Optional) Copy the search page ID from the [Administration Console](https://docs.coveo.com/en/183/):

.. Access the [**Search Pages**](https://platform.cloud.coveo.com/admin/#/orgid/search/search-pages/) ([platform-ca](https://platform-ca.cloud.coveo.com/admin/#/orgid/search/search-pages/) | [platform-eu](https://platform-eu.cloud.coveo.com/admin/#/orgid/search/search-pages/) | [platform-au](https://platform-au.cloud.coveo.com/admin/#/orgid/search/search-pages/)) page.

.. Copy the **ID** of the project that you want to download.

. In a terminal, run `coveo auth:login` to connect to your [Coveo organization](https://docs.coveo.com/en/185/).

> **Tip**
>
> If you have more than one [organization](https://docs.coveo.com/en/185/), you can add `-o=<YOUR_ORG_ID>` to connect to a specific one.

. Run `coveo ui:create:atomic <YOUR_PROJECT_NAME>`.

If you copied the search page ID from the [Administration Console](https://docs.coveo.com/en/183/), add `-p=<YOUR_SEARCH_PAGE>` to download your page directly.

If you don't specify a page ID, you'll need to choose one of the following options:

--
** Start from scratch

** Select one of the [Atomic](https://docs.coveo.com/en/lcdf0264/) search pages that exist in your [organization](https://docs.coveo.com/en/185/)
--

Choose the one you want and press **Enter**.
The Coveo CLI will then download your project.
