Dependency Wizard : Initiate Project

When you work with ApexSQL Clean, the first step in analyzing a database is the Dependency Analysis Wizard. This wizard will guide you safely through all the steps it takes to create a project in ApexSQL Clean.

The first step of the Dependency Analysis Wizard lets you choose from the following options:

Icon	Option	Description
	Create a New Project	This option will create a new session with ApexSQL Clean's default settings and no database selected. Settings changed in any previous session will be ignored.

	Edit a Current Project	This option will reload an already loaded project with either the current project settings or load the last saved settings respectively.

	Open an Existing Project	This option will load a previously saved project. Previously saved projects are persisted to disk for easy retrieval. ApexSQL Clean stores information about a project in an XML-file with the *.axcl extension.

When you have selected to edit or open a project, you can immediately analyze a database and/or navigate to other nodes in the Project Wizard's treeview. In these cases ApexSQL Clean already has all information it needs. However, when you create a new project, you need to walk through the remaining wizard pages in order to provide ApexSQL Clean with all necessary information.
