Open, duplicate, archive, or delete studies to keep your workflow clear and your project space under control. This guide explains how to use the [**Duplicate**](/v1/docs/working-with-existing-studies-1#duplicate-a-study), [**Archive**](/v1/docs/working-with-existing-studies-1#archive-a-study)**,** and [**Delete**](/v1/docs/working-with-existing-studies-1#delete-a-study) features for studies. --- ## Open an existing study ![](https://cdn.us.document360.io/3db99144-2736-4654-a3ba-1aa2e78ddb2a/Images/Documentation/open study 2.png)To open an existing study in your ACP Workspace: 1. Navigate to the ![](https://cdn.us.document360.io/3db99144-2736-4654-a3ba-1aa2e78ddb2a/Images/Documentation/image(724).png) **Projects** tab. 2. Open an existing project in one of two ways: - Click the ![](https://cdn.us.document360.io/3db99144-2736-4654-a3ba-1aa2e78ddb2a/Images/Documentation/image(727).png) project name. - Under the Actions column, click the ![](https://cdn.us.document360.io/3db99144-2736-4654-a3ba-1aa2e78ddb2a/Images/Documentation/image(736).png) **Open** button for the project you want to open. 3. In the Project view of the selected project, open an existing study in one of two ways: - Click the ![](https://cdn.us.document360.io/3db99144-2736-4654-a3ba-1aa2e78ddb2a/Images/Documentation/image(737).png) study name. - Under the Actions column, click the ![](https://cdn.us.document360.io/3db99144-2736-4654-a3ba-1aa2e78ddb2a/Images/Documentation/image(738).png) **Open** button for the study. This opens the Study view. --- ## Duplicate a study Duplicating a study creates a copy of the original in which all data, except the study name and color, are replicated. You can then update any information within the study and generate a new solution based on it, allowing you to quickly iterate studies for exploring various conduit routes without needing to recreate the study from scratch. Within the Studies ListWithin the Study view ![](https://cdn.us.document360.io/3db99144-2736-4654-a3ba-1aa2e78ddb2a/Images/Documentation/image-ZP5NUKNE.png)Within the Study View, duplicate studies may be made once the study has finished generating solutions. Here’s how: 1. Hover your mouse cursor over the ![](https://cdn.us.document360.io/3db99144-2736-4654-a3ba-1aa2e78ddb2a/Images/Documentation/image(739).png) **Action** dropdown at the top. 2.
