2.9. Archiving Projects

You can optionally save the elements of a project in a single, compressed Intel® Quartus® Prime Archive File (.qar) by clicking Project > Archive Project. The .qar preserves logic design, project, and settings files required to restore the project.

Use this technique to share projects between designers, or to transfer your project to a new version of the Intel® Quartus® Prime software, or to Intel support. Optionally add compilation results, Platform Designer system files, and third-party EDA tool files to the archive.

If you restore the archive in a different version of the Intel® Quartus® Prime software, you must include the original .qdf in the archive to preserve original compilation results.
