Tip

Do not rely on the Restore Last Session function, as this might cause loss of data. Rather save the GDTF file regularly on the GDTF Share and on the hard drive!

Drag and drop the GDTF file from your file explorer to the dashed square below Customize an existing file or click on the dashed square. A file browser opens where a GDTF file on the hard drive can be selected.
