Guides Getting Started Open an Existing Project

Getting Started 1 min read Updated Apr 2026

Open an Existing Project

Use this workflow when the project already exists on disk and you want to bring it into the editor.

Open the Project Hub

Launch the editor and choose the Open tab in the Project Hub.

You can also use File -> Open Project... from the menu bar.

Select the Project Folder

Choose the project root folder itself.

Do not choose an individual scene file or script file. Lenga opens projects from the folder that contains the project settings and assets.

Let the Editor Load the Project

Once the project is selected, the editor loads the project structure, scenes, and assets into the workspace.

The Hierarchy, Assets panel, and the rest of the editor now reflect that project.

Use Recent Projects When It Helps

If you open the same projects often, use the Recent tab in the Project Hub.

That is the fastest way to jump between active projects without browsing through the filesystem every time.
