Remarks

ArcGIS Pro can open projects or project packages stored on a local or network computer. ArcGIS Pro can also open project packages available from a portal or ArcGIS Online, if an appropriate URL is provided. You must sign in to the organization that hosts the project package if it is not public.

If appropriate, a project package is first downloaded from a portal to the user profile directory. Project packages are unpacked, then the project file (*.aprx) it contains is opened by ArcGIS Pro.

If a project is currently open in ArcGIS Pro, it will be closed before the specified project is opened.

Example

Open an existing project

//Opens an existing project or project package
await Project.OpenAsync(@"C:\Data\MyProject1\MyProject1.aprx");

Close a project

//A project cannot be closed using the ArcGIS Pro API. 
//A project is only closed when another project is opened, a new one is created, or the application is shutdown.

Requirements

Target Platforms: Windows 11, Windows 10, Windows 8.1
