When you create a new notebook Pluto puts it with a temporary name under `~\.julia\pluto_notebooks`  
So if you simply tried to create a new notebook and do

```julia
begin
	import Pkg
	Pkg.activate(".")
end

```

You would not be activating the path from where you started Julia, but the temporary `pluto_notebook` subfolder.

Try either saving the notebook inside your project folder, or giving the full path of your project to `Pkg.activate()`.

All of this is due to the new integrate package manager that shipped with Pluto v0.15.0 that is described in more detail here:
