# Manage files in CMake projects

When you use project wizard templates to add files to a project, Qt Creator automatically adds them to the qt_add_executable, add_executable, or qt_add_library function in the CMakeLists.txt file.

If you use custom API, Qt Creator uses the target_sources function to add the files.

For Qt Quick projects, the files are added to the qt_add_qml_module function, prefixed with the `QML_FILES`, `SOURCES`, or `RESOURCES` function argument.

When you rename or remove files in the Projects or File System view, Qt Creator renames them in the CMakeLists.txt file or removes them from it.
