Save a Project

Find more information on saving and ADVIZOR file types in our tutorial page.

ADVIZOR provides two ways to save your project:

1. The Save Project As function allows you to choose from one of two format types:

   • The .adv format contains a pointer to a data source. If you send this project to others, they must have rights set to access the data.
   • The .advm format contains embedded data that is compressed and encrypted. Because user rights are not an issue with this format, so you can send this project to anyone as a standalone file.

2. The Save function saves your project in .adv format.
