  2. Open the working directory of the component using the button or the context menu item Show in file manager (Ctrl+E).
  3. Move the desired project data into the working directory of the component.
  4. Check-In the component using the Create base version and Check-In button.
  5. You can now manage the project in octoplant.

FAQ

Why does the creation of archives in the SIMATIC Manager fail?

Check whether the name of the component to be archived contains spaces. If this is the case, there are two options:

  • Remove the blank characters from the name of the affected component.
  • Create a subdirectory without blank characters in the affected component.
