You can open an existing Protege-Frames project when you start Protege, from within the Protege window, or from a list of recent projects. No matter what format your project is in, you can create, open, and save your projects directly via the .pprj file. You do not need to name or access other file types unless you wish to build a project. To save the open project to disk after you have edited it, select Save Project from the File menu.
