You can open models that are saved in the local repository or in the shared repository or a source control system, to view or modify them as required. Each model that you open is displayed in its own tab in the workspace.
Click the (Open) button in the main toolbar, or choose . Alternatively, click the (Manage) task-panel toolbar button. The Manage Models task panel is displayed.
In the task panel, expand the model structure that contains the model you need, and browse down to it.
Either double-click the model or right-click the model and choose Open model from the context menu.
The selected model opens in its own tab on the Design board.
If the model is saved in the shared repository or source control system and is not checked out to you or is checked out to another user, the model opens in read-only mode. You can then save a copy of the model, with a different name. For more information, see Saving a Copy of a Model or Development Component.
