Saving objects

When you create an object, you must save the object definition in the Composer repository. You can either save the object before you check it, or you can check it first and then save it.

The save operation always applies to an object whose properties window is open in the right pane.

How to save an object

To save an object:

1. Select the object properties window in the right pane. This is important if more than one window is currently open.
2. Select File > Save from the menu bar. Alternatively, click on the toolbar.
3. Select File > Close to close the properties window.

If you select to close the window before saving, a message prompts you to save the object.

Caution: If you check the object and then close it without saving, the object definition is not saved in the repository or added to the tree structure in the navigator pane
