Link to an Existing Project

You can link to a project that already exists, even if it is located on a remote network computer. A remote project can be edited and compiled over the network. Only the selected project is linked; its includes are not linked (see Link to Project Hierarchy for more information).

Note: This feature is not designed to allow multiple users access to a common project from different computers. If you create a remote link to a project, you should externally manage the situation to avoid any scenario that would allow two people make changes to a project at the same time. Support for multiple users should be enabled using Included Projects.
