Recovered Documents dialog box

How to get there

This dialog box appears when Finale automatically relaunches after hanging or crashing.

What it does

Allows you to restore all open documents to the state they were in immediately prior to the hang or crash.

• Recover the auto-saved documents. Choose this option to restore the document(s) to the most recent state available.
• Don't recover the auto-saved documents. Choose this option to discard the auto-saved documents. The auto-saved versions will be deleted.

As explained at the bottom of this dialog box, after recovering auto-saved files, you must explicitly save them to overwrite the original documents.
