Save as a new project

Save as a new project makes a copy of what you have open. The copy becomes the project you are working in, and the original stays exactly as it was.

This is useful because projects save automatically. If you want to try something without changing work you are happy with, take a copy first.

How it works

1. Choose Save as a new project.
2. A name is suggested for you, such as "Pragmatic-Opcode-Pebble". Change it to anything you like, clear it and type your own, or press the refresh button for another suggestion.
3. Choose Save as.

You are now working in the copy. The original keeps its own name and its own history.

When to use it

• Before a big change. Keep a working version you can go back to.
• Two ways of doing the same thing. Save a copy, write the second version in it, and compare.
• A starting point you reuse. Keep one project as your template and save a copy each time you need it.

What next

Once you have several projects, the projects list is how you keep track of them.
