Note: If you use 'File/Save As' to save a file to another name, and 'Optional Save' is active, you are prompted as to whether you want to also save the changes to the current project. This is the same prompt as for simply closing a project when 'Optional Save' is active.
Also, if 'Optional Save' is active you can use 'File/Save As' to save the file to a file of the same name.
Similarly, if 'Optional Save' is active you can simply use 'File/Save' to save the changes at any time.
