FAQ: My gradebook's name is '... copy copy copy'. What is going on?
Many programs prompt you to save your changes when you quit. However, with Easy Grade Pro, since all changes are saved automatically, it prompts you to make a backup copy of your gradebook and suggests a name of 'gradebook name copy'. If you have a gradebook with a 'copy copy...' in its name, it means you are opening and using your backup copies instead of your main gradebook. A backup copy of a gradebook is like an insurance policy -- it's something that you hope you never have to use. Don't get your gradebook and its backup copies confused, and don't work on a backup of your gradebook unless there is a good reason. For more information on this, see FAQ: Easy Grade Pro saves automatically. What does this mean?.
