Using the Project Manager
|
|
=========================
|
|
|
|
When you launch Godot, the first window you see is the Project Manager. It lets
|
|
you create, remove, import, or play game projects.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
In the window's top-right corner, a drop-down menu allows you to change the
|
|
editor's language.

Creating and importing projects
|
|
-------------------------------
|
|
|
|
To create a new project:
|
|
|
|
1. Click the **New** button on the top-left of the window.
|
|
2. Give the project a name, choose an empty folder on your computer to save the
|
|
files, and select a rendering backend.
|
|
3. Click the **Create & Edit** button to create the project folder and open it in the editor.

|
|
|
|
Using the file browser
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Click the **Browse** button to open Godot's file browser and pick a location or type
|
|
the folder's path in the Project Path field.
|
|
|
|
.. image:: img/editor_ui_intro_project_manager_05.webp
|
|
|
|
When you see the green tick on the right, it means the engine detects an empty
|
|
folder. You can also click the **Create Folder** button to create an empty
|
|
folder based on your project's name.
|
|
|
|
Opening and importing projects
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
|
|
The next time you open the Project Manager, you'll see your new project in the
|
|
list. Double click on it to open it in the editor.
|
|
|
|
.. image:: img/editor_ui_intro_project_manager_06.webp
|
|
|
|
You can similarly import existing projects using the **Import** button. Locate the
|
|
folder that contains the project or the **project.godot** file to import and
|
|
edit it.
|
|
|
|
.. image:: img/editor_ui_intro_project_manager_08.webp
|
|
|
|
When the folder path is correct, you'll see a green checkmark.
