Opening Multiple Projects
On this page:
Basics
PyCharm Edu 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 PyCharm Edu and use the same memory space.
Prerequisite
Make sure that one of the options Open project in a new window or Confirm window to open project in in the System Settings page of the Settings/Preferences dialog is selected.
Opening project in a new window
To open a project in a new window, follow these steps
- Open a project, while another one is already open.
- Depending on the selected behavior:
- If the option Open project in a new window is selected, PyCharm Edu will silently open new project in a new window.
- If the option Confirm window to open project in is selected, PyCharm Edu
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.
