The File module mainly provides functions related to project management and basic software configuration.

Project management functions include creating a new project, opening a project, accessing recent projects, saving a project, closing a project, saving a project as a new file, and adding data to a project.

Note: Avoid selecting low-speed network locations, removable drives, or mechanical hard disks, as these may affect software performance and stability.

Open Project

Close Project

Close the current project using Close Project or the shortcut Ctrl + W.

Save Project

Save as Project
