1. Use Windows' File Explorer to navigate to the Workflow configuration file (.OL-workflow) that
you want to open.
2. Double-click the file.
If the currently opened configuration file includes unsaved modifications, the PReS Workflow Con-
figuration program asks you whether to send the configuration to the PReS Workflow service 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 PReS Workflow Service before opening any other configuration file
(See "Saving and sending a Workflow Configuration" below).
Note: You can also open a configuration file from a previous version of PReS Workflow by chan-
ging the File Type selector to the desired version (for example, .pw7 for PlanetPress Watch
/Server configurations from Version 7).
Saving and sending a Workflow Configuration
The core of the PReS Suite workflow tools is the PReS Watch service which, once started, constantly
runs in the background to perform the tasks included in its current configuration file. The PReS Work-
flow 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.
Saving a configuration file never replaces the current PReS Watch service configuration. To do this,
you must use the Send Configuration command.
When the PReS Workflow Configuration program sends a configuration, the PReS Workflow service is
stopped and restarted, if it is currently running, and the new configuration starts being applied imme-
diately.
Saving a configuration
Files created and edited using PReS Workflow can be saved as PReS Workflow configuration files any-
where on your computer or even a network location.
To save the current configuration:
l
From the PReS button, choose Save.
l
If you were editing the current PlanetPress Watch service configuration or if you were editing a
new configuration file, you are prompted with the Save As dialog instead.
