Opening a Session

When opening Capture One for the first time, you have to choose between a Catalog or Session. If you want to adopt the more project-oriented workflow, you will need to create a new Session. If you previously created a Session and want to continue working on the project, you can choose one of the ways to open it:

1. Choose File -> Open. Navigate to the Session file and open [Sessionname].cosessiondb.
   
   
   
   
2. Choose File -> Open Recent. Choose a Session from the drop-down menu (it displays up to ten previously opened Sessions/Catalogs).
   
   
3. Drag and drop the [Sessionname].cosessiondb file on to the Capture One icon located in your Dock (macOS only).
   
   
4. Double-click on the [Sessionname].cosessiondb file and it will automatically open in Capture One.
