Opening an existing project

You can open existing projects and resume working on them. This can done from the home page, using the Getting Started with Lectora Online window, or from within the Publisher.

If you have recently worked on the existing project, you can open it directly from the Getting Started window. Recent projects are listed on the right-side of the Getting Started window. In the Open Recent list, projects that you have marked as private contain the Private graphic and projects that you are sharing contain the Shared graphic. For details about marking projects as private or shared, see Working with shared projects.

Follow these steps to resume working on an existing project:

If the Getting Started window is open, click the file name of the project in the Recent Projects list if it is a recent project. Otherwise, use the list above to navigate and select the existing project file. Click OK.

You can also click Browse All to pick from projects in a folder and file list. To open a project that you recently used in the Publisher, select the name of the project in the Select a recently used project section and click OK. The last 10 projects that you have opened using the program are listed. You can also navigate the list in the Browse and select from all projects list and select a project to open. To open a project locate the project by browsing the My Projects and Shared Projects folders. Projects in the My Projects folders are the projects that you do not currently share. Projects in the Shared Projects folders are the projects that you share with other people. Select the project and click OK to open the project.
From the Manage Projects dialog box, either select a project and click Open or double-click the project from the list.
If the Publisher is open, either select Open Existing Project from the File tab or type Ctrl + O. Navigate and select the existing project file. Click Open.

Your project is displayed in Edit mode and you can begin adding objects to complete its functionality.
