Manage a Project

• The New command in the File menu uses a wizard to help you to define the project.
• The Open... command opens a window to let you navigate your system and retrieve previous projects.
• The Save command saves your entire project.
• The Save As... command allows you to save your project with a custom name and location.

• 
  

• Choose a safe folder for your project.

  Never select the Installation repository.

The Close command prompts you to save first if some modifications have not been saved.

• 
  

• When a project is already open, and you try to create or open another one, KAS-IDE shows a message asking you to save the project before it is closed.

The Print... command is used to create documentation containing editor's programs or diagrams.

See either Menus Overview or Toolbar Overview.

• 
  

• Use the Recent Projects command in the File menu to open the last four projects.

When editing your project, the KAS-IDE has these restrictions:

• You cannot work with several projects in parallel.
  • Multiple instances of KAS-IDE can be used as a work-around.
• Modifications that impact the project structure cannot be reversed with the Undo command.
  • Use the Save As command first to create a backup.
• No guarantee is provided by the KAS-IDE with respect to the project file's integrity.
  • This means that, if you modify your data from outside the KAS-IDE, you can spoiled your project.

Use a Version Control System

To ensure integrity of your project files, you have to rely on tools to control versions.

Generally, such tools also have facilities for:

• Backup management.
• Multi-users or multi-site development.
