# Loading and Saving Projects

## Loading Projects

To open a project, choose the menu item File->Open Project …. Select the project file (`*.prj`) in the dialog and click OK.

If the project has recently been opened, then you will find it listed in the menu File->Recent Projects. Choose the project file from the list, and the project will be opened.

As soon as a project is opened, `Anjuta` will enter Project mode.

## Saving Projects

To save the current project, choose the menu item File->Save Project or click on the Save Project button on the Extended toolbar. When a project is saved, only the files that need to be updated are actually written to disk, to avoid breaking any unnecessary dependencies.

Any build files that are flagged `Disable Overwriting` in the project configuration will also not be touched.
