Remarks

ArcGIS Pro can open projects or project packages stored on a local or network computer. ArcGIS Pro can also open project packages available from a portal or ArcGIS Online, if an appropriate URL is provided. You must sign in to the organization that hosts the project package if it is not public.

If appropriate, a project package is first downloaded from a portal to the user profile directory. Project packages are unpacked, then the project file (*.aprx) it contains is opened by ArcGIS Pro.

If a project is currently open in ArcGIS Pro, it will be closed before the specified project is opened.
