informationSave Project on a Session Member
When working on a Session Member, the save options are different. You have a choice between "Save on Master" and "Save on Local System". Recommended option is to use "Save on Master" and trigger a project save on the Master System.
Session Members always pull the project data from a project file that is opened from the Master System.
Use "Save on local System" to create a local project file or backup on the session Member
