Project Management

Opening a Project

To open a project, click on a project in the list of projects on the Welcome Screen, or if a project is already open, and you want to open another one, select File > Open.

Saving a Project

To save a project, click on the Save icon in the Quick Access toolbar, select File > Save, or use the key combination Ctrl+S. The project is saved as internal ATLAS.ti file in the ATLAS.ti library. The default location for the library is the application folder on your computer. See Where Does ATLAS.ti Store Project Data?

It is possible to either change the default location for the ATLAS.ti library or to create new libraries. See About ATLAS.ti Libraries.

If you want to save an external copy of your project, you need to export it. See Project Export.
