Website Upgrade Incoming - we're working on a new look (and speed!) standby while we deliver the project

Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

Hello there,
I understand that P3 automatically save the project file when I click File, Close; the only question it is asking is about saving the layout.
Is there a way NOT TO SAVE the project at closing?
Does P3 automatically save the current file on a timely basis?
All the best,
Alexandre

Alex,
The message saving in scheduling is saving the calculated result, like total float, free float, dates, etc.

Forum guest,
We have express before: -
- No more enhancement on P3 will be released by Primavera, all on P3e, P3e/c, TeamPlay
- Database solution cannot UNDO

Recommendation to P3 software: Pls add in the UNDO function, otherwise more people will choose MS project

You have it wrong. P3 does not save your changes when you close your schedule; it saves it when you press the OK button or when you click outside of the activity you are working on.

One of the differences from MS Project and P3 is that P3 allows multiple people to be working on the same schedule at the same time. You can do this because the database is automatically updated as you work. Good luck!

P3 is a database. Any changes you make are automatically written back to the database, as opposed to software which effectively copies the data to working memory and then overwites your source data on save.

This is also why there is no undo feature.

If you dont necessarily want to save the changes you make, I would recommend taking a copy of your P3 project before you make any changes.
