This option enables you to save while you continue to work. The save performs in the background, and you can see the progress in MySession.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s similar to doing a batch save, but you can use it on the fly while you are designing by simply enabling it in the MySession window. To enable the feature, go to Tools &gt; Options&gt; Save and check the \u201cActivate asynchronous save\u201d option.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"thumbnail wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog-assets.solidworks.com\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/05\/asynchronousinteractivesaveues3dexswblogapr202320_1_.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" \/><figcaption class=\"caption wp-caption-text\">Enable the \u201cActivate asynchronous save\u201d option in the Save dialog from MySession.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>How is this different than the Batch Save to <strong>3D<\/strong>EXPERIENCE feature? Well, for starters it requires less setup. You don\u2019t have to select a folder or backup location. It is also ideal for large assemblies with twenty-five parts or more. Since you are in active session and have already selected your Collaborative Space, the data you save will be saved there.<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s also nice is that you can easily see the progress of the save in MySession. You will get a notification when the save is completed, and you can view the report to get more details about the save.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"thumbnail wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog-assets.solidworks.com\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/05\/savestatusasynchblogmay3023.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" \/><figcaption class=\"caption wp-caption-text\">The status of the save will display in real-time in MySession.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Once you have enabled the Asynchronous Save feature from the Save dialog, you can just leave it selected as it will only kick in for large assemblies. So, if you are saving a light assembly with fewer components, you don\u2019t have to worry about disabling it.<\/p>\n<p>Watch the video below to see a demo of Asynchronous Save.<\/p>\n<div class=\"video-container\">\n<div class=\"entry-content-asset\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"How to Use the Asynchronous Save Feature in MySession\" width=\"1140\" height=\"641\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/IetAYwUUA98?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re a regular user of one of our cloud-connected roles that connect SOLIDWORKS data to the cloud, then you are familiar with the Batch Save to <strong>3D<\/strong>EXPERIENCE feature, which is also a great tool.<\/p>\n<p>When should you use Batch Save to <strong>3D<\/strong>EXPERIENCE feature vs. Asynchronous Save?<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s really up to you and what your needs are at the time. With Batch Save you can also continue to work while you save, but I think Asyhronous Save is the way to go if you\u2019d like to quickly save large assemblies on the fly.<\/p>\n<p>I use Batch Save when I want more control of my files, for example, if I want to be alerted if a duplicate is found. Or if you need to upload and save mulitple projects, datasets or folders, Batch Save is the way to go.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"thumbnail wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog-assets.solidworks.com\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/05\/batchsavesetupasynchblogmay3023.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"601\" \/><figcaption class=\"caption wp-caption-text\">Batch Save is ideal when you\u2019ve got multiple folders or projects to upload.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>From the Batch Save dialog you can can also launch the <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.solidworks.com\/solidworksblog\/2023\/05\/how-to-use-the-file-preparation-tool-in-collaborative-designer-for-solidworks.html\">File Preparation Assistant<\/a> to clean up data before you save it. So I recommend you are taking advantage of that tool as well.<\/p>\n<p>We also recently updated the Batch Save to <strong>3D<\/strong>EXPERIENCE status dialog so you can\u00a0be better informed about your batch save process and gain more insight with reports. It now displays the start time, end time, and total processing time and other details. For further information you can tap the View Report tab.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"thumbnail wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog-assets.solidworks.com\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/05\/batchsavestatusdialogupdatedasynchblogmay3023.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" \/><figcaption class=\"caption wp-caption-text\">Gain better insight about your Batch Save processes with a more detailed and precise processing status dialog.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>There you have it, two great options for saving to the platform.
