Create a local project

Create a local project with version control to create the local project and a local repository on your computer. The local repository allows you to commit changes to your project and provides version control to view and restore previous versions of your project.

  1. If there is an open FactoryTalk Optix project, select Project and then select Close Project.
  2. Select Close or if there are changes to save, select Save and close.
  3. On the Start page, select New.
  4. Select the type of project.
  5. In Name, enter the name of the project.
    Tip: In order to use version control, FactoryTalk Optix project names and repository names must match. The project and repository names must contain only alpha numeric characters, numerals, periods, dashes, and underscores.
  6. In Location, type the path to the project.
  7. Select Use version control.
    Tip: When version control is enabled for a local project and you want to back up the project to a remote repository, push the local changes to associate the local project with a remote repository.
  8. Select Create.
Version control is added to the new project.
