| + | {{:lostplot:manual:toolbar_0004.jpg?nolink&50 |}}In order to update an existing project in the database, select the [Update] toolbar button. | ||
| + | |||
| + | If the project has not been previously saved, you will be prompted for a project name before saving. | ||
| + | |||
| + | It is greatly advised however, to utilise the auto-save features in order to ensure that the application regularly saves changes to your project without manual intervention - once an author is engrossed in development of a project, it is very easy to forget to save! | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Auto Save ==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | {{ :lostplot:manual:toolbar_0006.jpg?nolink&100|}}Any change to a project configuration setting (such as split screen, document mode etc.) is updated in the project database record immediately. In regards to authored content however, there are two levels of auto-save available: | ||
| + | |||
| + | - Auto-save cards | ||
| + | - Auto-save content | ||
| + | |||
| + | === Auto Save Cards === | ||
| + | |||
| + | In order to turn on auto-saving of projects, click the auto save [Card] toolbar button. In this case, the //entire// card set is updated in the database when any changes are made to index cards or the overall project configuration. | ||
| + | |||
| + | === Auto Save Content === | ||
| + | |||
| + | A slightly reduced level of auto-saving ensures that any changes to //content// are updated in the database as it is edited, and can be enabled by clicking the auto-save [Content] toolbar icon. This is particularly useful when using the __Writer__, as the index card content being edited will be updated every 5 seconds when a change has been made during typing, ensuring that communications failures will result in the very smallest amount of data loss. | ||
| + | |||
| + | While this level of auto save is advised once document authoring has started, it should be remembered that other changes to the project should be updated manually using the [Update] toolbar icon. | ||
