When you save changes or add new information to files (you must have
Administrator or Edit permission; those with Review permission can add and
save comments only), the new data is uploaded to the Buzzsaw server. As you
update files, you will see the updated file name within your project folder in
the tree view. As soon as the upload process is completed, the file size changes
from the number zero (0) to the correct size.
If you are in the midst of uploading files to the server and click Cancel, a
message appears and asks if you really want to stop the data upload process.
If you choose Yes, the procedure is cancelled without transferring the file(s)
to the server.
All files are automatically compressed when they are moved to your local
computer or the server. You do not need to compress (zip) files, subfolders,
or folders.
The updated version of the file becomes the new version (is displayed in the
Project Files/Versions tab list as version 2), the older version is moved (appears
in the same list as version 1), and the item is unlocked.
NOTE Be careful when updating files that you do not overwrite changes made
by another member who may have edited and the same file. For tips about sharing
project file information effectively, see Collaborative Work Environment (page 25).

Working with Multiple Views
You can view two or more windows at once. This is helpful if you need to
work with several project files at the same time.
To view in window
Use this option to open a selected file in the details view (so you have access
to all the tabbed options) in a separate window. Because the selected file
information appears in a separate window, you can then view any number of
details about two files at the same time.
As an example, if you want to view a drawing but you also need to view the
related discussion thread, select the drawing file from the list in the tree view,
right-click, and then choose View in Window. The selected file appears in a
