New Instance of Alteryx Designer when opening files

[PeterAP]

Does anybody know why sometimes when you open workflows directly from their folder directories, it opens them in the same instance of Alteryx Designer sometimes and opens a new instance of Alteryx at other times?

Ideally I would like them always to open in the same instance and I know the work around is to just open them from that instance, I just wondered if there was a reason why it was opening new instances.

Thanks

Hi @PeterAP 

This is a setting you should be able to change. Go to the Options menu then select User Settings & Edit User Settings. Make sure this check box is checked:

Hi @Kenda 

I've just checked my settings and it seems it's already checked - so I'm not sure why it's often still opening up in different designer windows.
