Use the Save As command to save your current session under a new name.

You can save your session as a session (.tls), an archive (.tla), or a reference (.tlx) file.

The .tls format is usually used for sending sessions by email or attaching sessions to problem reports. The .tls format can contain session annotations. The .tls format includes copies of all binary files that are used by all pages of the session. For most RTV users, the .tls format is appropriate.

The .tla format is used by the Archive Reader to re-examine a stored session. This format is normally used by Tealeaf administrators in the development of new events, new RTA rules, and new rules for privacy blocking or encryption. The .tla format can be indexed by common desktop indexing programs. The .tla format does not contain any binary files.

.TLA files can be uploaded to the Event Tester for testing sessions.

The .tlx format contains the canister identifier for each session and the name of the server from which it can be retrieved. When the .tlx file is opened, the actual session data is retrieved based on the references, by using the appropriate authentication mechanism for the accessing Tealeaf user. Since .tlx documents do not contain session data, TLX files are much smaller in size than .tls or .tla files. The format also provides an extra measure of security for session data.

Annotations in a session can be saved to different locations that depend on when the annotation is placed in the session.

• If the annotation is added and committed to the session while the session is being viewed from the canister, and before the session is saved to the file system, then the annotation (after commitment) is saved into the canister and is visible to all RTV users.
• If the annotation is added after the session is saved under a new name, then the post-commitment annotation belongs only to the copy of the session that is saved on the file system. It is available for anyone to whom the file is delivered and is not visible in the canister.
