Browser Header Bar
The Browser window header provides access to several operations you can perform on your project structure and content, including opening the project in the first place. You can use the options in the header bar to create a new model through the Model Wizard, add Packages and diagrams to an existing model, and move objects up and down within their object groups and parent structures. These and additional options are also available through the menu displayed by the 'Hamburger' icon.
When you first open Enterprise Architect, all the icons except for the 'Hamburger' are grayed out. You can either select a model from the 'Recent' list on the Start page, or you can click on the 'Hamburger' and select the 'Open Project' option. This option displays the 'Manage Projects' dialog, through which you can locate and open the required project.
