# Opening a locally saved EDF file

To open an EDF file locally that is not in your Recordings list in EmotivPRO:

1. Go to the Recording view in EmotivPRO. 
2. Go to Options burger at the top-right corner of the screen and click on Open Recording. 
3. Your computer’s file explorer will open. Navigate to the EDF file you want to open. 
4. Click on the EDF file. It will now open in EmotivPRO. <br>

Please note:&#x20;

* Selecting an EEG EDF file will also open the motion data EDF file of the same name, as long as it’s in the same folder.
* EDFs files that you open locally are not saved to the  Recordings list in EmotivPRO or synced to other shared devices.&#x20;
* EmotivPRO currently only supports Raw EEG for EPOC Flex.
