-Typically, you need to open, edit, process, plot and fit multiple data acquired in various experiments or series of experiments within single project. Ordinarily you have the source (imported) Table and a number of Tables with derivative data, such as Fourier transform or statistics of source Table data. MagicPlot automatically creates a new Folder every time you import new Table. All derivative data is stored in the same Folder by default. All Plots created from Tables in certain Folder are stored in the same Folder.  +==== Close Unused Internal Windows ==== 
- +Feel free to close currently unused interval windows with Tables, Figures and Fit PlotsThe data will not be deleted, the window will be closed onlyYou can open the closed window by double clicking on component in Project tree.
-===== Undo/Redo and History ===== +
-MagicPlot supports unlimited depth undo/redo function with History dialog window. History dialog supports multiple undo and redoUndone actions are marked light grayLast saved state is set off in bold. +

-MagicPlot can evaluate simple expressions entered in any numeric text field (see [[formula|formula syntax]] for details.) For example, you can enter ''12/pi'' in circle width and height fields in [[dimensions|Dimensions toolbar]] if you want its perimeter to be equal to 12 (remember that ''p=πd'', where ''p'' is perimeter and ''d'' is diameter):+MagicPlot can evaluate simple expressions entered in any numeric text field (brackets are supported, see [[expressions]] for details.)
