\title Managing Sessions
When you exit \QC, a snapshot of your current workspace is stored as a
\e session. To restore the session automatically when you start \QC,
select \uicontrol File > \uicontrol Sessions > \uicontrol Manage >
\uicontrol {Restore last session on startup}.
When you open or create any of the following items, they automatically
become a part of the session:
\list
\li Projects with their dependencies (including SUBDIRS projects)
\li Editors
\li Breakpoints and expressions
\li Bookmarks
\endlist
A session is personal, that is, not meant to be shared. It is not supposed
to reflect the project structure. It contains personal data, such as
bookmarks and breakpoints that are usually not of interest to other
developers working on the same projects.
For example, if you work on a project and need to switch to another project
for a while, you can clone the current session to save it under a name and
create a new session for the other project. Everything that you open after
switching to the new session becomes a part of it. When you want to return
to working on the first project, switch to the saved session. \QC opens the
projects and files that belong to the session.
To manage sessions, select \uicontrol File > \uicontrol Sessions > \uicontrol Manage.

To save a session under a new name, select \uicontrol Clone.
To create a new session:
\list 1
\li Select \uicontrol New.
\li In the \uicontrol {Enter the name of the session} field, enter a
name for the session.
\li Select \uicontrol Create to create a new empty session or
\uicontrol {Create and Open} to create a session and to switch to
it.
\endlist
To switch between sessions, select \uicontrol {Switch To}.
When you launch \QC, a list of existing sessions is displayed in the
\uicontrol Welcome mode. To open a session, select it or press
\key Ctrl+Alt+<number>, where \e <number> is the number of the session to
open (available for the first nine sessions).

You can also use the \c t locator filter to open a session. For more
information, see \l{Searching with the Locator}.
To view more information about a session, select the down arrow icon that
appears when you move the mouse cursor over the session name. Select actions
to clone, rename, and delete sessions.
When you start \QC from the command line, you can give the name of
a session as argument and \QC will start with this session.
For more information, see \l{Using Command Line Options}.
