Get started¶
Enter the project details¶
On Home, press Start, then choose Create a new project on Project → Main. Enter a short name, a descriptive title, authors and a description. Choose a location and confirm.
The project name identifies its folder; the title appears in the report. If another project has unsaved changes, answer the save prompt before replacing it.
Open a project¶
Choose Open project…, then Folder or Zip archive. In the desktop app you can also drop a project folder, its project.edi, or a zip archive onto the window.
When a project opens, the app prepares its pages in turn. The status bar shows progress and a top-bar page becomes available when it is ready.
If your current project has unsaved changes when you open another, create one or quit, the application asks whether to save them.
Save or save a copy¶
Save writes to the project's current location when that is writable. Save project as… lets you choose a different location or format.
On the desktop, Save project as… offers Folder, Zip archive, and Save a copy. A copy records the current state without moving the project you continue to work on.
An archive opened on the desktop is unpacked into a working copy. Save writes the archive again. If it is not writable, or it is a bundled example, the application asks where to keep your work instead.
