Save a Project

StandOut DataViz provides two ways to save your project:

1. The Save Project As function allows you to choose from one of two format types:

   • The .adv format contains pointers to the data sources. If you send this project to others, they must have rights to access the data.

   • The .advm format contains embedded data that is compressed and encrypted. Because user rights are not an issue with this format, you can send this project to anyone with StandOut DataViz software as a standalone file.

2. The Save function saves your project in the same format it was opened from.
