1 Introduction
The File menu allows you to manage documents and projects, for example, to create a new project or save changes:
2 Menu Items Overview
The File menu items are described in the table below:
Menu Item | Description | Shortcut Key |
---|---|---|
New Document | Creates a new document within the app currently open. You can choose the name, location, and type of document. | Ctrl + N |
New Project | Creates a new single-developer project. A single-developer project is simply a file (with the extension .mpr , which stands for “Mendix project”) that is stored in the local file system. For more information on the New Project menu item and its settings, see New Project. | Ctrl + Shift + N |
