WebStorm 2018.2 Help

Welcome Screen

Overview

WebStorm displays the Welcome screen when no project is open. From this screen, you can quickly access the major starting points of WebStorm. The Welcome screen appears when you close the current project in the only instance of WebStorm. If you are working with multiple projects, usually closing a project results in closing the WebStorm window in which it was running, except for the last project, closing this will show the Welcome screen.
