Opening, reopening, and closing projects

Last modified: 26 August 2021

PhpStorm lets you open several projects simultaneously in different windows. By default, each time you open a project while another one is opened, PhpStorm prompts you to choose whether to open the project in the same window or in a new window.

If necessary, choose one of the options in the Project Opening section of the System Settings page to change this behavior:

  • Open project in new window to open a new PhpStorm window each time a new project is opened.

  • Open project in the same window to stay in the same PhpStorm window.

  • Confirm window to open project in to keep the default behavior and display a dialog to choose how to open each new project.
