KB: Use Folders to Manage Projects in Altium 365 Pro

A365 A365

With the latest release of Altium 365, projects can now be categorized by Folder Type.

Solution Details

In previous versions of Altium Designer, it is possible to organize projects by grouping them into specific folders via the Explorer panel. The grouping is not limited to a specific type, and it is very flexible to the users as intended to help them, for example, recognize multiple projects as being part of one large project. Now in Altium 365, users are able to view projects by first navigating through specific folders and then access the project.
