2.2 Open Existing Project Area
The right area provides access to existing projects.
Open Project
In addition to double-clicking a recent-project card, you can use the following options to browse for and open a project from another local directory:
- Open Georeference Project
- Open Mapping Project
Recent Projects
Recently opened projects are displayed as cards. Each card contains key project information, such as:
- Preview thumbnail
- Project type
- Project name
- Project path
- Last opened time
Double-click a project card to open the project.
Older processing projects are identified as the Georeference type. After an older project is opened, its type is automatically updated to the corresponding Mobile or SLAM type.
Project Filter
Use the project-type dropdown list to filter projects. The list refreshes automatically after the filter is changed.
Clear Recent Projects
Click the Trash Bin button to remove all recent-project records under the currently selected project type. This operation only removes the records from the recent-project list; it does not delete the local project files.

4. Video Tutorial Page
The Video Tutorial page provides online tutorial video playback. The page contains a video playback area, a video list, and a search box. You can search for and select a video to watch.
The video resources are hosted online and require a network connection. If the network is unavailable or a video fails to load, the software displays a loading-failure message and outputs the error information in the Output window.
