Saving Workspaces
|
1. If you are going to open the workspace from your computer, then you
should select File, Save Workspace As...
Choosing this option means that when you save the workspace, Research-Desk creates a
map of the file you were working on (.Work). When you go to re-open the workspace,
Research-Desk looks at the "map" and locates all the files. It then opens them all in
your Research-Desk workspace.
2. If you are going to email the workspace or open it on a different
computer, then you should select File, Save Self-Contained
Workspace As...
Choosing this option means that when you save the workspace, Research-Desk will package
all the files in your workspace into one file (.zWork). Think of this option like a
folder. When you go to re-open the workspace, Research-Desk will open all the files
in the “folder”. This is especially important if you are going to email a workspace
to a co-worker.
If you try to email a Workspace (.Work) file to a co-worker or open it in a
different computer, you will encounter an error. Research-Desk will look at the “map”
and not be able to find certain documents. So if you want to share workspaces,
remember to save them as a Self-Contained Workspace (.zWork).
