Three ways your work is saved

You rarely need to think about saving, but it helps to know when it happens.

Three ways your work is saved. Numbered callouts: 1 Save, 2 Back, 3 Status bar.
  1. Save — writes the tree to disk immediately.
  2. Back — saves, then returns to the Tree Library.
  3. Status bar — shows the tree you are editing and, for a moment, the save state while a save runs.

If a save fails

If the tree cannot be written — the data folder is on a disconnected drive, or the disk is full — Treetor shows a Save Tree Failed message with the reason and keeps your changes in memory. Fix the cause and press Save again; do not close the tree until a save succeeds.
