Handy Tips!
• Save before you open: Opening a project replaces what is on screen, so save your current work first.
• Import instead: To add a single sound to your project rather than replace it, use the Import tool.
• Sign in for the cloud: You need to be signed in to open projects from Google Drive or OneDrive.
• Cloud projects are ready for Quick Save: After opening a cloud project, Save can update that same file and Auto-save can protect later changes.
