.. _section-Loading a project:

Loading a project
=================

To allow a new user quick access to a working **Sunflower** project, this section will make use of sample ontology files bundled in the **Sunflower** archive you have installed. The sample ontology files are under the folder **doc > UserManualExamples**. To create a **Sunflower** project from scratch, see Section :ref:`section-Creating a Sunflower project`.

From **Sunflower**’s main navigation toolbar, select **File > New > Sunflower Project**. A dialog box pops up to ask for a project name and file location. Enter the desired project name (e.g., **SunflowerProject1**), uncheck **Use default location**, and **Browse** to **sunflower-studio-ce > doc > UserManualExamples**, then click Finish.  See :numref:`figure-Installation-specify-project.png` for illustration.

   Creating **SunflowerProject1**

This brings **UserManualExamples** into **Sunflower** under the project **SunflowerProject1**. From **Sunflower’s** project navigation tree, expand **SunflowerProject1** to show the ontology files within **UserManualExamples**, as illustrated in :numref:`figure-Installation-project-added.png`.
