How do I tell UE where to find existing projects?

Development Getting Started & Setup

I have just got a new computer and installed UE on it.
I have copied over my existing projects from my old computer.
But nothing is showing up in the My Projects panel.
How do I tell UE what folder to look at for projects?

Thanks.

Hi @AntonyDOP , When you launch the Epic Games Launcher, if you can’t see the project in the “My Projects” tab, just Launch the Engine and when that opens, go to “Recent Projects” and you still may not see your projects, but then click on “Browse” and navigate to your project. This will then show you project in the EGL in the “My Projects” and might also show the others too if they are saved in the same location.

Hope this helps, it’s a bit of a manual way to do it, I have yet to find an automatic solution.

Hey @AntonyDOP!

To add on a bit more, navigating to your projects in the file explorer and opening them using the .uproject files should have them show up in the my projects panel after you restart the launcher.

I hope the above is the solution you need!
