Save As

When a Unit of Learning (UoL) is being edited in the Learning Design Editor, the "File->Save As..." menu item is enabled. This means that you can save a copy of the XML file, perhaps for a different version. Note that when you save a copy of the XML file you need to save it to the same system folder as the original if you want to reference the files in the "content" and "metadata" folders of the Project.

To save a copy of the UoL, follow these steps:

  1. Select the "File->Save As..." menu item.

  2. A "Save As" wizard will appear. Give the copy of the LD a name. This is the name that will appear in the Projects View and has no meaning outside of the Editor. Provide a new file name for the XML file by clicking the "Browse..." button. We recommend that you choose the same system folder (a.k.a the Project folder) as the original LD file, so that the Content and Metadata files can be shared. In the wizard dialog, select the parent group to which you wish to add the LD. If you have just started you will only see the "Learning Designs" group. Click the "Finish" button.

  3. The new LD will be inserted in the Projects View and the new copy of the UoL will automatically be opened in a new instance of the LD Editor.
