If a file that is different from the default configuration file is currently opened, and if it includes
unsaved modifications, PlanetPress Workflow asks you whether to save the configuration
before creating the new configuration. Select the Always save without prompting for
confirmation option to automatically save any unsaved work.
Open a PlanetPress Workflow configuration file
While the PlanetPress Workflow Configuration tool always loads the current configuration, you
may sometimes need to open a configuration file that is not the current one, for example to load
a previous backup or a configuration file from another computer. To do that:
1.
From the PlanetPress Workflow button, choose Open. The Open dialog box appears.
2.
Navigate to the configuration file you want to open, select it and click Open.
If the currently opened configuration file includes unsaved modifications, the PlanetPress
Workflow Configuration program asks you whether to send the configuration to the PlanetPress
Workflowservice before opening the selected configuration. Select the Always send without
prompting for confirmation option to automatically send the edited version of the
configuration to the PlanetPress Workflow Service before opening any other configuration file
(See "Saving and sending a Workflow Configuration" on page126).
Note
You can also open a configuration file from a previous version of PlanetPress Workflow
by changing the File Type selector to the desired version (for example, .pw6 for
PlanetPress Watch /Server configurations from Version 6)
Saving and sending a Workflow Configuration
The core of the PlanetPress Suite workflow tools is the PlanetPress Watch service which, once
started, constantly runs in the background to perform the tasks included in its current
configuration file. The PlanetPress Workflow Configuration tool lets you create, edit, save and
send configuration files.
As you are working on your configuration, you can save that configuration file as a file on your
local hard drive.
