About the Project Navigator

The Project Navigator provides direct visual access to key project information, and contains a representation of the project hierarchy, files, design units, IP components, shortcuts to various menu commands, and features that are unavailable from other menus. The IP Components tab allows you to view IP components and upgrade outdated Altera IP components for improved IP management.

The Project Navigator displays information related to the current project. To view information about another Quartus® Prime Standard Edition project, you must close the current project and open another project.

Note: To display the names associated with each Project Navigator tab, you can expand the Project Navigator window with the split bar. The icons that identify the tabs are always visible.

The Hierarchy, Files,Design Units, Revisions, and IP Components tabs display different views of the current project and provide different commands for modifying the project or displaying more information about a specific view of the project.
