Creating a Project Alternative

Open the Chapter 12 project.

The process is very simple:

1. Navigate to File | Project Alternatives | New Alternative:

   Figure 12.1: Creating a Project Alternative

2. Name the alternative.
3. Here you can see that I have created three Project Alternatives, and the third one is the active one:

Figure 12.2: Three Project Alternatives

To return to an earlier or later version, all I have to do is select it in the Project Alternatives list, and it will return to the state it was in at that point. If I choose Edit Alternatives, I can rename or remove any I choose.

This is a great way to create different arrangements, all within the same project.

NOTE

Personally, I like to name my alternatives by the date and time, so when I return to an earlier or later one, I know when I last worked on it.
