5.4.1.1 File Linking

The Project Manager enables you to link to files not managed in your Libero IDE project. Linked files are useful if you want to preserve a file in an archive, or if more than one person is using a file and it is impractical to store it on your local machine. If you link to external files and rename your project, the Project Manager asks if you want to copy the external files into your project or continue using the link. Note that some files (such as schematics) cannot be linked.

Some project sources can be imported. Sources for your project can include:
