Save a file

SWAN automatically saves your notebooks to your CloudStor drive. However, if you want to change the filename of the notebook or the location it’s saved to, you can manually save it:

  1. Click File > Save [filetype] As in the main menu.

  2. Enter your filename and click Save.

    By default, your file will be saved in the     SWAN_SESSIONS folder in your main CloudStor folder. The SWAN session notebook folder will be saved as SWAN_SESSION_yyyy.dd.mm_hh.mm.ss_UTC.

    If you want to save your notebook to a different CloudStor location, enter the folder location starting with cloudstor/. For example, cloudstor/research_project/shared_work/gather_input.ipynb. This tells SWAN that you want to save the file directly to CloudStor, instead of using the default SWAN session folder.

Shut down a file

  1. Click File in the main menu.
  2. Click Close and Shutdown.
