Simple Instructions:

Save your work regularly by opening the "File" menu and choosing "Save". Saving a collection is not the same as making it ready for use in Greenstone (see Chapter 8 -- Producing Your Collection).

The Librarian Interface protects your work by saving it whenever you exit the program or load another collection.

Advanced Instructions:

Saved collections are written to a file named for the collection and with file extension ".col", located in a folder of the same name within your Greenstone installation's "collect" folder.
