configuration. Select the Always save without prompting for confirmation option to automatically save any
unsaved work.
Open a PReS Workflow Configuration File
While PReS 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 PReS 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 default configuration file is currently opened, and if it includes unsaved modifications, the PReS
Workflow Configuration program asks you whether to send the configuration to the PReS 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" below).
Note
You can also open a configuration file from a previous version of PReS 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 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. PReS 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 PReS Watch service configuration. To do this, you
must use the Send Configuration command.
