Open a Project
There are multiple ways to open an existing project in PhoneGap Desktop, similar to project creation. Once your project is loaded into PhoneGap Desktop it will automatically become the active project and start running on the local web server. Then you can test it out by pairing it with the PhoneGap Developer App running on your mobile device.
Open Project Options
1. Using the Plus Button
To open an existing project, click on the + button in the side menu:

2. Using the File Menu
Click File -> Open Project in the menu bar to open an existing project.
3. Using Drag & Drop
You can also drag any file or folder onto the PhoneGap Desktop interface to add it to your list of projects. Locate the
project you would like to add from you hard drive and drag it into the Desktop app in the area marked Drop PhoneGap project folders here:
Select Existing Project
After choosing one of the methods above, you will be prompted with a file selection dialog. Choose the root project folder for the existing PhoneGap project you wish to open in PhoneGap Desktop. It will immediately be set as the active project and started on the local web server.
