8.1 Difference between single project and multiproject engineering
The engineering involved in a batch process cell can be done both on one PC (single project)
or on several PCs (multiproject).
Single project engineering
In small Batch process cells and when only one configuration engineer is available, engineering
is done in a single project; in other words, on one PC.
Multiproject engineering
In larger Batch process cells, simultaneous configuration is necessary on different PCs and
by different configuration engineers. This is made possible by multiproject engineering. Access
to the data on the other PCs is possible. The individual projects of the process cell are merged
on a central ES PC using the "Multiproject" object.

8.2.1 Removing projects for editing and restoring them
You can transfer your projects to other engineering stations in the network with the command
"Remove for editing". You can completely configure the project there.
Preciously, you could only edit batch types in a removed project. As of SIMATIC BATCH V7.0,
you can now remove any project from a multiproject for editing. The batch types can still be
edited in each project.
Procedure
1. Select the project to be removed in the SIMATIC Manager, right-click and select the
command Multiproject > Remove for Editing ... in the shortcut menu.
2. Then select a local directory or network path for storage. The complete project data is
copied to the selected path and removed from your multiproject directory. The removed
project is display grayed-out in the multiproject. It can no longer be edited there.
3. Select the grayed-out project, right-click and select the shortcut menu command
Multiproject > Reapply after Editing. This copies the project data back to the multiproject
directory. You can now continue configuration for the multiproject as usual.
