When the user selects a project file and clicks **Open**, CIMON Canvas will launch the last-edited version of that project. If a project is already opened, the project will automatically close.

> 📝 Projects created using the newer versions of CIMON Canvas cannot be executed using an older version of CIMON Canvas.
