Managing 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, the KAS IDE"Integrated development environment" An integrated development environment is a type of computer software that assists computer programmers in developing software. IDEs normally consist of a source code editor, a compiler and/or interpreter, build-automation tools, and a debugger proposes you to save your project before it is closed.

The Print... command allows you to create documentation containing editors' programs or diagrams.

For more details on the File menu, also refer to Menus and Toolbar Overview.

• 
  

• With the Recent Projects command in the File menu, the last four projects can be opened easily.

When editing your project, the KAS IDE has the following restrictions:

• You cannot work with several projects in parallel
• Modifications that impact the project structure cannot be reversed with the Undo command (you have to make a backup first using the Save As command)
• 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
