Options for Saving Components
After creating or editing a component, you must save it. Each OpenROAD editor or portlet provides several commands on its File menu for saving working copies of your components:
Save
Stores the working copy of the component in the database and makes it the current version. If you are editing a private version of a component, the private version disappears. The editor or portlet remains open.
Save and Close
Replaces the previously saved version, which becomes immediately available to the rest of the development team as the “official” version. If you made a private copy, the private copy no longer exists.
Save Private
Specifies that the working version of the component becomes the private version. The current version is not affected.
Revert to Last Saved
Replaces the working copy. If you are editing the current version, the working copy is replaced with the current version. If you are editing a private version, you are prompted to revert either to the private version or to the current version of the component.
Save As
Saves the working copy as a new component with a name that you specify; the original component is unaffected. The editor remains open, and if you make further changes and save them, the changes will apply to the new component.
Save As New Template
Saves the working copy as a frame template if you are editing a user frame; the original component is unaffected. The editor remains open, and if you make further changes and save them, the changes will apply to the new component.
Save As New Version
Creates a new version of the component and leaves the original component unaffected. (For more information about creating and viewing component versions, see
Managing and Deploying Applications (see
Managing and Deploying Applications).)
Close
Opens the Close dialog when you select this command or you click the system Close button (X) in the upper right corner of an editor.
The Close dialog lets you discard any changes made during the current session, cancel the Close command, or save the changes using one of two options: Save or Save Private.
