Select the file save format

You can select the file save format when you save the newly created project for the first time. Immediately after installing Next Design, the JSON format is selected by default. To change the default file save format, select Save Format from Option on the File menu.

Also, to change the file save format of an existing project, execute [Save As] from the [File] menu. In the [Save the project with a name] dialog, select the format you want to save from [File type] and save.

Attention

When saving a new project, make sure it matches the file save format of the profile you are applying. If the file save formats do not match, you will not be able to import the profile when it is updated.

Template your project

You can create a project template by saving the project in the project template file format (.nprot or .iprot).

To template your project, do the following:
