Reference Manual > Files > Archive folder

Whenever a master file is saved, a copy of the file from disk (without the changes) is saved into a sub-folder called Archive that is created automatically.

The name of the file is appended with an underscore followed by 4 or more digits.

If you change (edit) a master file often you may want to clear out some of the older copies of the master files.

Once a set number of copies of the respective file have been saved into the Archive folder, the program will display a message stating that there are a number of copies of the file in the Archive folder, suggesting you may wish to delete the lowest numbered (oldest) copies. We recommend you do this, otherwise your project folders will use a lot of hard disk space.

You can restore an archived master file by copying it back to main project folder and renaming it to remove the sequence number added to the name.

Be careful not to put any of your own files in the Archive sub-folder.
