# Save/Load Project

This option allows you to save your currently loaded files as a project in SpatialExplorer. This will associate all the currently loaded files as a single project, allowing you to load your data next time without having to load individual separate files. It will save the project as a PLP file.

To load your project, use the File menu near the top right corner of SpatialExplorer, navigating to File → Open file. Alternatively, you can press the keyboard shortcut CTRL + O. Instead of loading individual files, simply load the PLP that you saved.
