The storepoint system is useful for tracking and comparing revisions of a schedule by taking a snapshot of the project at a particular point in time. These storepoints can then be used for generating comparisons. Major storepoints can be named with descriptive names such as "Preliminary" or "Baseline", and minor revisions of these storepoints can also be saved.

To create a storepoint, simply select Create Storepoint from the File menu, which will open up a dialog asking you if you would like to create a major storepoint, or a revision of an existing storepoint. If you are creating a storepoint for the first time, there will be no existing storepoints for you to revise, so you will be required to create a new major storepoint. When creating a major storepoint, you have the option to add a descriptive name to the storepoint, which can be useful for distinguishing various phases of the schedule. If this is left blank, you can still identify storepoints by their version number. If a minor revision (a revision of a major storepoint) is created, the revision number is increased by one for every revision. For example, the fifth revision of any particular storepoint would be version 1.5, 2.5, and so on. This makes it easier to identify major schedule changes from minor updates.

If you have started an update on a new schedule, you may have noticed the option to create a new storepoint before beginning the update. This option is on by default, so there may be existing storepoints when you go to create a new storepoint. Storepoints created during updates are always minor revisions, unless no major storepoint is defined.
