Saving your Work

Any record that has been edited without being saved will be flagged with an asterisk in the Taxon Name panel to the left of the taxon name in the tab label:

An asterisk indicates unsaved changes


You can save your changes using the Save icon on the Toolbar and at the top left of the Taxonomic Editor window:

Alternatively, hold the Control and S keys on the keyboard at the same time.

Please Note: If you have multiple taxon records with unsaved changes this method will only save changes in the currently activated record i.e. the record that is open in the Taxon Name panel. To save all unsaved changes in multiple records you need to select the Save All option found under the General menu:

Click on the General menu in the Toolbar; the File drop-down menu will appear > Click on Save All .

If you attempt to try to close an edited taxon record without saving your changes the Taxonomic Editor will give you a warning:

Any changes to text in the Taxon Name panel will not appear in the Taxon Navigator panel until the changes have been saved as above. Alternatively, you can refresh the classification by right-clicking anywhere in the Taxon Navigator panel and selecting Refresh:

Point the mouse arrow anywhere within the Taxon Navigator panel > Click the right mouse button; a drop-down menu will appear > Click the Refresh option.
