Description

[proj](#mw%5Ffac97d47-7185-4de2-b900-5d48b4d09948%5Fsep%5Fmw%5Fbcc72d7e-5c54-48e8-9a05-55d23b17186c) = currentProject gets the currently open project, and returns a project object proj that you can use to manipulate the project programmatically. When the currently open project is running a shortcut, startup file, or shutdown file for a referenced project,currentProject returns the object for the referenced project instead. If no project is open, MATLAB® displays an error. To programmatically check if any project is loaded, use matlab.project.rootProject instead. See Check if Project Is Loaded.

For more information about working with projects programmatically, see Create and Edit Projects Programmatically.
