Project and file handling
In addition to opening and importing/exporting projects and other file formats, project and file handling also includes auto-save and project backups.
Auto-save
The auto-save function stores a version of the currently active project at regular intervals, including new projects you have not explicitly saved yet. This reduces the chances of losing significant amounts of work if you accidentally close a project without saving or in the unlikely event that Dorico Pro or your computer crashes.
Recovering auto-saved projects
If Dorico Pro crashes, you can recover the most recent auto-saved version of each project that was open.

Recovering auto-saved projects

If Dorico Pro crashes, you can recover the most recent auto-saved version of each project that was open.

Procedure

Reopen Dorico Pro.
In the Recover Auto-saved Projects dialog that opens after the Dorico Pro splash screen, activate the checkbox for each auto-saved project you want to recover.

Note
Any auto-saved projects you do not recover are permanently deleted once you close the dialog.
Click Recover Selected Projects to recover the selected auto-saved projects and close the dialog.

The selected auto-saved projects are recovered and opened in separate project windows.

You can save auto-saved projects permanently in any folder location and with new file names if required.
