It is important to save the project when you have changed it because only one person can update a project at a time. If you have changed it, then other users will not be able to change it until you save your changes.
If you have changed a project by mistake you should use [File] [Abandon changes and open again] from the Main window to restore and unlock it.
When working on a project you should save it occasionally in case there is a power failure or other problem. Do not save too often because each time you do a copy is created.
Remember to freeze the data locations in [Project global settings] before entering any data in a project.
The project will be saved as a Unicode UTF-8 with BOM master file to preserve the text in any language.
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.
If you make a lot of changes to a project you may want to clear out some of the older copies of the master files.
The project can be saved as an exported script for use with other research programs, see Project export.
