WebStorm 2017.1 Help

Opening Multiple Projects

On this page:

Basics

WebStorm allows you to work with several projects simultaneously, each one in a separate window. The projects are independent, and cannot share information, except for the Clipboard operations. All the projects run in the same instance of WebStorm and use the same memory space.

Opening project in a new window

To open a project in a new window, follow these steps

  1. Open a project, while another one is already open.
  2. Depending on the selected behavior:
    • If the option Open project in a new window is selected, WebStorm will silently open new project in a new window.
    • If the option Confirm window to open project in is selected, WebStorm will prompt you to specify whether you want to open project in a new window, or close the current project and reuse the existing window.

      Click the New Window button to leave the current project in its window and open the new one in a separate window.

      Click This Window button to close the current project and opening the new one in the same window.
