Note: Projects are saved with a .aimblocks or .aimpython extension, depending on whether it’s a Blocks or Python project.

8. You can also save manually at any time. Select File, then select Save to save the project, or Save As to save it with a new name.

9. To open a saved project, select File, then select Open.

10. Navigate to and select the project file that you want to open, then select Open.
