Common tips on opening projects
- Can I open my old project in version9?

- What should I do when it requires to locate the missing files?
There is no chance to open the project without original files used in your project, so if you have moved/renamed/deleted some files after saving the project, then you will see the page as below remind you to relocate your files.
