Restoring projects from Kanzi Studio backups

Every time you save your project, Kanzi Studio makes a copy of the .kzproj project file and stores it in a file with extension .kzproj_N, where N is the consecutive number of the backup. Kanzi Studio stores the ten latest project file backups. For example, if the name of your project is Orchard, project file is Orchard.kzproj, latest backup is Orchard.kzproj_1, second to latest backup is Orchard.kzproj_2, and so on.

To restore your project from a Kanzi Studio backup:

  1. Close the project you want to restore.
  2. Open the directory of the project you want to restore.
    By default Kanzi Studio stores your project directory in the Kanzi Studio workspace.
  3. In the project directory locate the file with .kzproj extension and rename the extension.
    For example, if the name of your project is Orchard.kzproj, rename it to Orchard.kzproj_latest.
  4. Rename the extension of the backup version you want to restore to .kzproj.
    For example, if you want to restore the third latest backup, rename Orchard.kzproj_3 to Orchard.kzproj. If you want to restore a backup from an automatically saved project, rename the Orchard.autosave to Orchard.kzproj.
  5. Open the restored project file.
