# Does Storage Studio reopen the apps it closed for a move?

It offers to. Storage Studio remembers which apps you asked it to close on its behalf, and afterwards offers to **reopen** each one. The files those apps use are still where they expect them — on the fast drive, reached through the links at the original place — so they open normally.
