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 your project before it is closed.

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

See Menus and 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.
