| 8 | ---- |

| 9 | The File option allows you load data into *SasView* for analysis, or to save the work you have been doing. |
|---|
| 10 | |
|---|
| 11 | Data can be loaded one file at a time, or by selecting multiple files, or by loading an entire folder of |
|---|
| 12 | files (in which case *SasView* will attempt to make an intelligent guess as to what to load based on the |
|---|
| 13 | file formats it recognises in the folder!). |
|---|
| 14 | |
|---|
| 15 | A *SasView* session can also be saved and reloaded as an 'Analysis' (an individual model fit or invariant |
|---|
| 16 | calculation, etc), or as a 'Project' (everything you have done since starting your *SasView* session). |
