Opening, closing, and saving projects

“

- [Instructor] Have you ever been frustrated by not saving work and losing a bunch of effort? (instructor laughs) I know I have. I've done that in college. Well, luckily, Project for the web takes care of saving for you. It is automatic. Let's actually look at that. Now, I'm on Project home, and this is where you'd launch any project, and those organizations that use Project Online, or Project web app can launch projects to those areas as well from here. But I'm going to click on Dog Park North, and let's make a simple change. Well, you will see a page like this where you've been placed in idle mode, and the only way to continue is to refresh. In fact, if you try to work on a task and make a change, it will say it's read-only. But the way to refresh can be done either with this button over here or with your web browser. And once you do refresh, you can continue working normally. Thankfully, Microsoft has thought of everything, whether you close accidentally or on purpose, (instructor laughs) whether you get interrupted or step away from your computer, information is continuously saved, and no matter what happens, you can always revert back to your project homepage with either of these two methods and retrieve the latest version of your project.
