Exiting the Program

There are several ways to close and exit WorkWORLD.

If you are still at the opening WorkWORLD splash screen, simply click on the Quit WorkWORLD button, or from your keyboard use your Tab key to bring focus to it and then press the enter key:

From within WorkWORLD, there are two ways to exit the program:

·           Select "File" from the Main Menu using either the mouse or keyboard (hold down the "Alt" key while pressing "F"):

After you use one of the methods above to begin closing the program, WorkWORLD will prompt you if you have an open case with unsaved changes:

If you have already saved the open case, you will not receive this warning.

·           If you have changed the case since the last time it was saved, you should answer "Yes" in order to save your updated case.

·           Answer "No" to skip the save and proceed directly to Exit.

·           Select "Cancel" to return to the program.

Finally, WorkWORLD will verify that you really want to exit:

·           Answer "Yes" to exit WorkWORLD.

·           Select "No" to return to the program.
