informationSave Project on a Session Member
When working on a Session Member, the save options are different. You have a choice between "Save on Master" and "Save on Local System". Recommended option is to use "Save on Master" and trigger a project save on the Master System.
Session Members always pull the project data from a project file that is opened from the Master System.
Use "Save on local System" to create a local project file or backup on the session Member

Auto Save

•Autosave supports you during your work and automatically saves your project

•By default, autosave is triggered every 5 minutes. This interval can be changed in the Project Settings

•Autosave is saving up to 4 versions of your project. After this number is reached, the oldest version is deleted

•The files are located in your Project Folder in subfolder with the name "_bak"

•The autosave-files all have a file suffix "*.vas" - (VERTEX Auto Save)

•To recover your project, please rename the file suffix to .vxp or just open the file with VERTEX.
