To create a new configuration, chooseNew from the PlanetPress button.
If the active watch file is currently opened, and if it includes unsaved modifications, PlanetPress
Workflow asks you whether to send the configuration to the PlanetPressWatch service before
creating the new configuration. Select the Always send without prompting for confirmation
option to automatically send the edited version of the configuration.
If a file 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 PlanetPress Workflow Configuration program always loads the default and current
configuration, you may sometimes need to open a Workflow Tool configuration file that is not
the current one, for example to load a previous backup or a configuration file saved from
another computer. This procedure will show you how.
1.
From the PlanetPress Workflow button, chooseOpen. The Open dialog box appears.
2. Navigate to the configuration file you want to open, select it and click Open.
If the default configuration file is currently opened, and if it 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 before opening any other configuration (See "Saving and Sending" on the facing
page).
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)
