My Projects
The My Projects pane is located under the toolbar in the Design Studio main window.

This view can contain as many opened projects as you like. In the
My Projects view, you can right-click to open a context menu to perform various actions, such as

Shared Projects View
The Shared Projects view shows an expanding/collapsing tree structure representing the robot projects for the Management Consoles that you are connected to. If any projects in the Shared Projects view are shared with the Design Studio on your computer, both project views will contain those projects. Depending on the status of the files in the shared project, downloaded, updated, and deleted files have a different appearance. You can synchronize your local project with the Management Console project using different strategies. The following table shows project files with different statuses. The Shared Projects view also provides tips and explain synchronization problems.
