Where appropriate, modules can be linked through references. For example, a person in Genealogy can have manuscript pages mentioning them attached, and references to a seal or coat of arms can be added.

Open and save

1. Choose File → Open project… or an item under Recent projects.
2. Use Save project regularly.
3. Use Save project as… for a different destination file.
4. Use Close project to close it.

Before closing a project with unsaved changes, the application offers to save. Projects can also be imported or exported as *.vestigia files; see Import and export.

Find your way around

After opening a project, use:

• Project tree to choose a module, folder or data node;
• the central workspace for tabs and subwindows;
• Properties for the selected object's attributes;
• Operation history to inspect and undo changes.

The main areas include:

1. Genealogy — in development
2. Manuscripts — in development
3. Heraldry — in development
4. Sigillography
5. Epigraphy
6. Palaeography
7. Archival aids
