Saving your work
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 308.
To change the Auto Save settings
1. Go to Edit > Preferences > File - Advanced to access Auto Save settings.
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. Go to Edit > Preferences > File - Advanced to access File Versioning settings.
2. Check the Enable Versioning Of Project (.CWP) 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.
3. Click OK.
Note: If you exceed the maximum number of saved file versions selected in Step 3, the oldest
version is discarded.
Note: If the current project is unsaved at the time you choose File > Revert, you will be
prompted with a warning that reverting the project will cause all unsaved changes to be lost.
When the reverted project is loaded, the timestamp is stripped off, and the reverted project
assumes the project’s original name.
