Managing Sessions

When you exit Qt Creator, a snapshot of your current workspace is stored as a session. A session is a collection of:

• Open projects with their dependencies
• Open editors
• Breakpoints and watches
• Bookmarks

If you work on a project and need to switch to another project for a while, you can save your workspace as a session. This makes it easier to return to working on the first project later.

To create a new session or remove existing sessions, select File > Sessions > Session Manager.

To switch between sessions, choose File > Session. If you do not create or select a session, Qt Creator always uses the default session, which was created the last time you exited Qt Creator.

When you launch Qt Creator, a list of existing sessions is displayed on the Welcome screen.
