Workbook Backup - czbar/ChessForge GitHub Wiki

When you open a workbook, you can see the workbook file name (dark green below) and its version (light green below). You can create a backup of your workbook at any time by using the Back Up This Version function from the File menu (red below):

 

This opens the Workbook Backup dialog, which shows the current version of the workbook that will be backed up (blue below) and the new version that will be assigned to the workbook you are working in (green below).

Version numbering follows the pattern X_Y, where X is the major version number and Y is the minor version number. The dialog includes a checkbox labeled Increment major version (purple below). When this is ticked, the system increments the major version X; when unticked, it increments the minor version Y:

 

When a backup is created:

• a copy of the current workbook file is saved with the version number appended to the filename. For example, if the current workbook is Unconventional Openings.pgn (green below) and its version is 1, the backup file will be saved as Unconventional Openings v1_0.pgn (light green below)
• The version of the current workbook is updated to the next one: 1_1, or, if the Increment major version checkbox was ticked, to 2.
