Save Project As Dialog Box

export project

When you open Maestro and load structures into the Workspace (rather than opening an existing project), the project is considered a Scratch Project and is not saved unless you select  "Save Project As" from the File menu (a warning dialog box will appear if you attempt to close the Scratch Project without saving it first). Once you have saved the project, saved projects continue to be saved automatically.

When you invoke 'Save As' from a previously saved project, the original project remains as it was. If you save the whole project, you can continue to work in the original project or the new project.

To open this dialog box, choose File → Save Project As in the main window or the Project Table panel.
