   • From the File menu, select Save.

   • Click Ctrl+S.

   • Click
2. If the specification was created in standalone File-AID/EX, a warning message appears indicating that the specification, if saved, will not be compatible with standalone File-AID/EX. Do one of the following:

• • To replace the standalone File-AID/EX specification for use in Workbench for Eclipse, click OK.

  • To keep the standalone File-AID/EX specification and save a copy of the specification for use in Workbench for Eclipse, click Cancel and then save a copy of the specification.

To save a copy of a specification

1. Do one of the following:
   • In Data Explorer, right-click the specification and select Save As. The Save Specification dialog box appears.
   • When viewing a list of specifications, right-click the specification and select Save As. The Save Specification dialog box appears.

   • When working with an execution suite, right-click the specification and select Save As. The Save Specification dialog box appears.

     If unsupported features exist in the specification, a warning message appears. Click OK to save the specification for use in 

     Workbench for Eclipse

     , which will drop the unsupported features, or click Cancel to end without saving a copy of the specification.

2. In the Name field, type a name for the specification. Alternatively, an existing name can be selected from the table which, when saved, will overwrite the original specification.

   Important

   The table gives information about all specifications in the repository selected in the Repository list and can be filtered by typing text into the type filter text field.
