Saving Progress
The Saving Progress feature in STPro Actor allows users to save their character customization work during the actor creation process.
Saving regularly is important because unsaved changes are not permanently stored and may be lost when leaving the project, refreshing the page, or making certain customization changes.
Purpose of Saving Progress
Section titled “Purpose of Saving Progress”Saving Progress helps users:
- Preserve customization work
- Prevent accidental data loss
- Continue projects later
- Maintain character configurations
- Secure actor creation progress
Why Saving is Important
Section titled “Why Saving is Important”Character creation often involves multiple customization steps, including:
- Head selection
- Body selection
- Clothing customization
- Makeup adjustments
- Skin color selection
- Pose configuration
Saving ensures these changes remain available when the project is reopened.
