# Projects

Projects are a collection of tracks, you can think of it as an album of songs. You can use individual projects to sort your haptic patterns by application, device or effects.

# Open a project

You can open any project by simply clicking on it. The editor will show all tracks currently saved inside. The name of the project is also displayed in the top center of the Editor.

# Locked projects

Projects can be locked to prevent unwanted changes by clicking the lock icon next to their name. This protects your work, especially important creations, and also occurs automatically if you switch to the Free version of Hapticlabs Studio.
