User Manual

However, you can create additional databases with which to store other projects, if you like. For
example, you might create one database each for each year in which you work. If you work on
series television, you could create multiple databases for each program you work on. Or, you
could create separate databases for each client you do work for. There’s no hard and fast rule;
ultimately how you use databases is entirely up to you and your individual organizational
preferences.
TIP: However you elect to organize your databases, keep in mind that projects saved
within smaller databases with less project data will load and save faster.
Opening the Databases Sidebar
If you already have multiple databases, then clicking the button at the upper-left hand corner of
the Projects Browser reveals a sidebar at the left of the Project Manager that lists every
database on your workstation, with various options for managing these databases and for
browsing the projects found within them.
