Archive Project Data
Your application maintains links to data in files to ensure data is 'current'. These links are stored in your project.
You can also create a snapshot of your application at a specific point in time, optionally storing all loaded data. Such a snapshot is termed an "archive", and is useful for transferring a known data and project configuration from one system to another.
An archive stores loaded data objects in their current state alongside project settings. This differs from a regular project which stores references to files and (optionally) reloads them when the project is loaded.
Note: You can also add data to the project file instead of an external file, using the Data Object Manager.
To archive a document:
-
Activate the Data ribbon and select Export >> Archive.
-
Browse to a location to store your archive.
-
Enter an archive File name. A file extension will be added automatically.
-
Click Save.
An archive file is stored at the specified location.
Note: Larger archives will take longer to save than those with less content.
