[SOLVED] A Newbie Question, What's The Right Way To Save my HISE Project?
-
Hello all,
I have a seemingly silly question: how do I save my HISE Project?
Initially, I created some basic components and assumed that closing HISE would automatically load everything the next time I opened the Project. However, to my surprise, it only loaded a blank GUI
Later, I discovered that I need to go to "File > Save XML," and each time I close HISE, I have to load the XML file.
So, here are my questions:
- Is saving the XML file the correct way to save my project?
- What is the purpose of "File > Save Archive"?
- How can I create backup projects so that I can revert to a previous 'correct' file if I make a mistakes?
I apologize for my lack of experience in this matter, and I'm grateful for any assistance
Thank you!

- Yes
- Save Archive uses a binary file format which isn't human readable.
- You can use multiple XML (or .hip) files in a project. But once you get serious with development I highly recommend start using a version control system like Git, this gives you the ability to track changes and go back in a timeline to older versions.
