Methods and
Project Files
Methods are saved as
elements of a project file,
not as separate method
files. Saving a method
only saves the current
status of the method. It
does not create a revision
or check in project items
as revisions. Refer to the
Biomek Software User’s

Check In
Checking in a method is
similar to saving a
method, but in addition
creates a new revision of
the method, checks in all
project items of the
project file, and creates
new revisions for any
items that have changed.
You will check in the
method later, in Section
3.5,
