Save a list

Close a list

Share a list with others

To share a correction file with others, simply let them know about the file location and give them the appropriate access rights. From time to time you may need to update the file to see any changes made by others.

1. Right click the current list in the File Tabs and choose the "Check for update of file" command from a pop-up menu.

Note:

• The current file location is shown in the File Tab's tooltip.
