A message box at the bottom of each Configuration Manager page displays status messages and reports the result of each action. If the Configuration Manager is unable to proceed on a retry of the same action, you will need to exit and restart the program.
For example, if you try to use the Configuration Manager to make changes in a file that is open in another application that locked the file, you will see this message:
File not updated, changes
in .new
This means the Configuration Manager was unable
to write your changes to that file, and instead made a copy of the file
but with extension .new
, made the changes there,
and saved the .new
file in the same directory
as the original. If this happens, you must exit the Configuration Manager
and release the file from the application that locked it. Then restart
the Configuration Manager and retry the action.
