Duplicating Your Project

 Before proceeding, you'll create a new project by copying the old one and renaming it. This way, you can make changes and still retain your previous version.

  1. In WebObjects Builder, close the component window.

  2. In Project Builder, close GuestBook's project window.

    If there are any unsaved files, you are prompted to save them.

  3. In your machine's file system, navigate to the directory where your project is located (the WebObjects directory under your server's document root).

  4. Duplicate the GuestBook folder.

    On Windows NT, you can do this by selecting the folder, choosing EditCopy, then EditPaste.

  5. Open the new folder (Copy of GuestBook) and double-click the project file PB.project.

    Project Builder opens a new browser window for this project. (Alternatively, you could have opened the project from within Project Builder by choosing ProjectOpen, then navigating to the project folder and selecting PB.project.)

  6. Click from the toolbar to bring up the Project Build panel.

  7. Click in the Project Build panel.

    This command deletes all the files that were generated when you built the project previously.

  8. Click to open the Project Inspector.

  9. Choose Project Attributes from the pop-up list at the top of the window.

  10. In the Name field, enter GuestBookPlus and press Enter.

  11. Respond Yes to the prompt that asks if you want to rename the folder.

    You now have a new project called GuestBookPlus.
