Open a Project
There are several ways you can open a project, all of which must be done from within the IDE. So, if it isn't running already, launch MPLAB® X IDE.

Do one of the following:
- Click on the Open Project icon
on the toolbar. - Select from the menuFile ▶ Open Project…
- PressCtrl + Shift + O on the keyboard.
1.2
Select the project folder in the Open Project dialog and click theOpen Project button, or just double-click on the project directory's icon.
On most systems, if a folder contains a valid MPLAB X project, the folder icon will be replaced in the dialog box with a small integrated circuit icon
as seen in the screenshot to the left.
