### **Saving and Managing Projects**

Tin Man saves your work as self-contained .tmprjt project bundles that include the database and all associated assets. Projects save automatically when closing Tin Man or switching to another project.

* To create a new project, select File → New Project or press Ctrl+N (Windows) / Cmd+N (macOS).
* To save your current project, select File → Save Project or press Ctrl+S (Windows) / Cmd+S (macOS).
* To save a copy with a new name, select File → Save Project As… or press Ctrl+Shift+S (Windows) / Cmd+Shift+S (macOS).
* To open a recent project, select File → Recent Projects and choose from the available entries.
* To manage or delete saved projects, select File → Manage Projects…

Legacy .tmfilelist projects are automatically migrated to the new format on first load and shown with a "(legacy)" label in the project manager.

This feature is especially useful for switching between different projects, client setups, or shot groupings without needing to re-import or reorganize your media.
