# Reopen a saved project into the active workspace

| Feature | Parent Epic | Delivery status | Status source | Owner | Approved for Solution |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| `3DARCH-FT-32` | [3DARCH-EP-10 — Reopen and Continue Previous Design Projects](../../3darch-ep-10.md) | `IN_BACKLOG` | `EXACT` | 3D Architecture Wizzard team | No |

## Description

Enable a person to restore a selected apartment as active work so it can be reviewed and refined instead of regenerated.

## User or operator problem

A person needs to restore a saved apartment as active work for continued review and refinement.

## Expected value

Restores project identity, scene, context, and review controls without regenerating the design.

## Scope

Includes retrieval by project identity, transactional workspace replacement, restored context/review modes, edit continuity, and visible load failure.

### Exclusions

- Sharing, deletion, ownership, authentication, and collaboration are excluded.

## Acceptance outcomes

- [ ] Selecting a known project retrieves its complete persisted final scene by project identity.
- [ ] The scene and project identity become the active workspace without retaining stale data from the prior selection.
- [ ] Project context and both review modes are available after reopening.
- [ ] The reopened identity enables subsequent natural-language refinement of the same project.
- [ ] Missing, unreadable, or malformed projects produce a visible failure and leave the last valid workspace intact.

## Dependencies

- [3DARCH-FT-28 — Inspect the apartment from an overview](../../3darch-ep-8/features/3darch-ft-28.md)
- [3DARCH-FT-31 — Browse and recognize saved apartment projects](./3darch-ft-31.md)

## Risks

- Missing or malformed project data can replace valid workspace state unless loading remains transactional.

## Human approval

Linas approved this Feature for documentation on 2026-09-02T10:40:43.220Z. It is **not Approved for Solution** and has no implementation approval.

- [Documentation decision](https://discord.com/channels/1518726359512387766/1543925247361814568/1544658325738885201)

## Delivery status evidence

The Feature was separately registered at `IN_BACKLOG` as an accepted catalogue boundary. This records backlog retention, not design or delivery progress.

- Event: Catalogue registration
- Actor and authority: Linas — Human project team member
- Reason: The Feature catalogue was accepted for governed documentation and retained in the backlog.
- [Status evidence](https://discord.com/channels/1518726359512387766/1543925247361814568/1544658325738885201)

## Architecture traceability

- Requirements: none derived.
- Readiness: Not started.

Architecture solution work must not begin until a separate human **Approved for Solution** decision is recorded.
