The File Menu

The top navigation bar of the R-THYM editor contains several drop-down menus for managing your project and interacting with the system. The File menu handles saving, loading, and importing/exporting your network data.

Here is a breakdown of every option in the File menu:

• New: Clears the canvas and starts a blank, untitled project. Save first if you have unsaved changes.
• Open...: Opens a dialog of your saved cloud projects so you can load one into the editor.
• Open Recent: Lists the last few projects opened in this browser. Hover and pick one without returning to the Dashboard.
• Open Example...: Takes you to the Example Projects section of the Dashboard so you can load a pre-built benchmark model.
• Save: Commits the current workspace to the cloud. A new or cloned example project will ask for a name. Shortcut: Ctrl+S.
• Save As...: Copies the current workspace into a new cloud project. Use this before making a large change you might want to unwind.
• Project Properties...: Edit the project name and short description stored with the cloud project.
• Model Documentation...: Opens the markdown and LaTeX documentation editor (Editor, Preview, or Split View).
• Import Model...: Choose R-THYM JSON or EPANET .inp and load that file from your computer onto the canvas.
• Export Model...: Download either a full R-THYM JSON archive (power topology, controls, chart settings, and custom properties) or an EPANET-compatible .inp of the network geometry.
• Fullscreen Mode: Expands the editor to fill the browser window.
• Exit: Closes the editor and returns you to the Dashboard.

Updating the project description

The short description shown on the Dashboard is edited from File → Project Properties.... The project must already be saved; on an unsaved canvas this item asks you to save first.

1. Open File and choose Project Properties....
2. Edit Project Name if needed.
3. Enter or change Description (Optional). This is the short summary stored with the cloud project, not the longer Model Documentation.
4. Click Save Changes.

Mastering the File menu keeps your work saved and lets you move models between R-THYM and EPANET when you need to.
