I am trying to create different scopes for my project, but each sheet needs to have a different project name and I want it all on one revit file. How do I acheive this?

Create a project parameter for Sheets category by instance and then add the desired value for each sheet

Huh? Multiple different Projects/submittals from one Project?

I have tried to do that, but my titleblock family manage tab only has shared parameters. When creating a shared one it does not let me make it an instance or allow me to categorize it under project information.

The Shared Parameter would need to be added to the Titleblock (Label) as well as to the Project (Project Parameter assigned to Project Info).

 This is all that shows up when I try making a parameter. I can assign the parameter type by a title block family type, but that is it. I can't make it a project parameter, it doesn't give me that option for some reason.

From that screen, create a shared parameter, finish, then open project parameters and add it in.

Obviously, you'd have different titleblocks with different sets of labels reporting the Project Info. 

 

...edit: actually, you could make it even more convoluted, if you wanted to, by having all the labels in ONE titleblock controlled by visibility parameters and Family Types.

Still curious about what you're doing.  Are you intending to manage multiple submittals to different jurisdictions from within one Project?
