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
Saving and Sending a Configuration
The core of the PlanetPressSuite 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. PlanetPress Workflow lets you create, edit and save configuration files.
As you are working on your configuration, you can save that configuration file as a file on your
local hard drive.
Saving a configuration file never replaces the current PlanetPress Watch service configuration.
To do this, you must use the Send Configuration command.
Saving a Configuration
Files created and edited using PlanetPress Workflow can be saved as PlanetPress Workflow
configuration files anywhere on your computer or even a network location.
To save the current configuration:
l
From the PlanetPress button, choose Save.
l If you were editing the current PlanetPressWatch service configuration or if you were
editing a new configuration file, you are prompted with the Save As dialog instead.
