Saving Your Work
Recording
If there is a power failure or if you make a significant mistake, you can recover the last-saved version
of your project by opening this file. You should then save your project under a different name by
using the File > Save As command.
To Save a Project
1. Choose File > Save As to display the Save As dialog box.
2. Choose the type of file you want to save from the Save as Type list.
3. Enter a file name and click Save.
SONAR saves the file. You can also use File Versioning instead of using Save As. For more
information, see “To Use File Versioning” on page 283.
To Change the Auto Save Settings
1. Choose Options > Global and click the Autosave and Versioning tab.
2. To enable Auto Save, set the number of minutes and/or the number of changes between saves.
3. To disable Auto Save, set both values to zero.
4. Click OK.
From now on, your projects are saved automatically according to the settings you entered.
Using File Versioning
SONAR can be enabled to keep previously saved versions of your project in a temporary file. You
can revert to any of these saved versions or use the default of the most recently saved version.
When file versioning is enabled, SONAR retains a list of previously saved project files in your project
folder. The most recent version retains the original name of the project. Previously saved versions
are saved with a time stamp following the original project name in order of most recently saved.
To Use File Versioning
1. Choose Options > Global and click the Autosave and Versioning tab.
2. Check the Enable Versioning Of Project Files check box.
3. Use the spinner to select the number of versions of your project you would like SONAR to keep.
To Revert to a Previously Saved File
1. Choose File > Revert.
A dialog box appears containing a list of dates and file sizes for all previously saved versions of
the current project.
2. Select the file version you want to work on.
Note: If you exceed the maximum number of saved file versions selected in Step 3, the oldest
version is discarded.
