Saving and Restoring Desktops

 
 
 

You can save multiple Desktops from the Media panel and restore them. When you restore a Desktop, you restore settings and media associated with the Desktop.

To save a Desktop:

  1. From the Viewing panel menu bar, enter a name in the Desktop Name field.
  2. Click Snapshot.

    The saved Desktop appears under Desktop Snapshots, in the Media panel.

NoteWhen you make a change to a saved Desktop (deleting a clip from a reel, for example), an asterisk appears next to that saved Desktop, under Desktop Snapshots in the Media panel. This lets you know at a glance that changes have been made to the Desktop since you last saved it. To keep the changes, save the Snapshot again.

To restore a Desktop:

  1. In the Media panel, right-click the Desktop you want to restore and select Replace Desktop or Append Desktop from the contextual menu.
    • Replace Desktop : Clears the current Desktop and replaces it with the Desktop you restored.
    • Append Desktop : Appends the restored Desktop to the current Desktop.

    The selected Desktop is loaded and appears under Desktop, in the Media panel.
