Save, history and Go back to this

What it does

Save job keeps the job in your shop's account, not on the computer in front of you. Reload the page, or sign in on another computer, and it is there, exactly as you left it.

Every save is kept: who made it, when, and the sheet as it was. Press History on a job's row in Jobs to list them. Go back to this opens an earlier save as a new save, so the later ones are still there.

Only one window at a time holds a job open for saving. If someone else has it, or has saved it since you opened it, your save is refused in words that name who, and Studio offers Save a copy. A job handed to somebody else stays theirs when you only look at it, until you press Take it.

Why it matters for your shop

• Nothing is written over. A mistake on Friday is not lost on Monday.
• Two people cannot overwrite each other. The one that saves second is told who got there first and keeps their own work as a copy.
• A printed job is kept as it was. A save over a job the press has printed is refused, in words that point to a reprint, which is a new job under a name of its own.
• Your work is yours to take. Save job as… can keep a copy on your own computer as a file Studio can open again, and Export .ppjob does the same from Jobs.

How to use it

1. Press File, then Save job. The first time, type a name and press Save. The bar then names the job instead of Not saved.
2. Find it again: Home, then Jobs, then Open. Or File, then Open job….
3. To go back, press History on the job's row, choose a save and press Go back to this.
4. If someone else has the job, press Take it if it is yours to take, or Save a copy.

If your licence has ended past its days of grace, jobs open and can be copied out but not saved.
