When working in Winner design, your designs are saved locally on the machine and then transferred to Anthill when Winner is closed.
If Winner closes unexpectedly before the application is closed, the files will not be sent to Anthill but will still be available to recover them.
This guide will explain what to do. Please ensure that your Agent Version is 15.10 or above.
Step 1 – Winner Closes Unexpectedly
When Winner closes unexpectedly, the window below will be shown as confirmation.
