Saving projects is crucial to ensure that all progress and design work is securely stored and easily accessible for future modifications.

Saving the project

Begin by navigating to the 'File' in the main menu. Select the 'Save' to initiate the saving process. If this is the first time saving the project, choose a location in the Project or Personal Drive where project file will be stored.

Enter a clear and descriptive name for the project. This helps in easily identifying the project later. Including the project date or version number can also be helpful for future reference.

Managing project versions

• Creating versions
  Keep track of different stages of the project by creating versions with incremental version numbers or dates. This practice helps in managing changes and reverting to previous versions if necessary.
  
  
• Using the 'Save As' feature
  Utilise the 'Save As' feature in SiteSolve to create a new version of the project. Navigate to the 'File' menu, select 'Save As' and enter a new name or version number for the project. This keeps the original file intact while saving a new version with recent updates.
  
  

Regular saving practices

While working on the project, periodically save progress manually by selecting the 'Save' option from the 'File' menu. This habit ensures that recent changes are not lost.

Loading a project

To load a project in SiteSolve, follow these steps:

1. Click on the ‘Open’ option in the File menu.
2. Browse to the location where your SiteSolve project file (*.sslv) is saved.
3. Select the desired project file and click ‘Load file’.

By following these steps, access and continue working on your projects seamlessly, ensuring that all previous work and modifications are readily available for further development and refinement. This process ensures efficient project management and continuity in your design workflow.
