Open the folder from the file explorer to open the bot.

### Recent Projects Section

This section displays your **10 most recent** projects. However, the currently open project is registered as a 'recent project', meaning the list will only display up to 9 projects while a project is open.

For every project, it will display the name, the last time it was edited, as well as the file path it's stored in. You can open the file path by clicking the <i class="fa-folder">:folder:</i> **button** on the right. You can also right click it to open the folder preview as seen above.

You can remove a project from your recent projects list by hovering over it, and clicking the red <mark style="color:$danger;">**button**</mark> <i class="fa-hexagon-xmark" style="color:$danger;">:hexagon-xmark:</i> in the top-right corner.

Search through projects using the search bar in the right corner or the Recent Projects section.

Click on a project to load it.
