For the Impatient¶

When you first launch the Crown Editor and no projects exist, Crown automatically generates a temporary project and opens it. This lets you explore the graphical interface immediately without any extra steps.

../_images/temp_project.png — The temporary project created on first launch.¶

At this point you can either jump straight into the Editor overview to get a feel for its features, or close the temporary project and create a new one yourself, for example, starting from a featureful template.

To close the temporary project, choose File -> Close Project:

../_images/temp_project_close.png — Closing the temporary project from the File menu.¶

You will be asked whether to save or discard the temporary project. Choose Save to keep your work (the project will then appear in the Projects List), or Close without Saving to discard it. After closing the temporary project, Crown opens the Projects List, where you can create a new project.

../_images/temp_project_close_confirmation.png — Confirmation dialog asking whether to save the temporary project.¶

Tip: If you plan to continue working on what you created during this session, save the temporary project before closing. If you were just experimenting, discarding it is fine; you can always start a new project from a template later.
