A previously-submitted project can be retrieved and opened from theALMA Archive via File $\rightarrow$ Open $\rightarrow$ From ALMA Archive . Before the retrieved project is loaded into the OT, theuser will be asked if the current project in the OT can beoverwritten. Retrieval of projects will follow certain ALMApolicies.
