I have a second laptop that I occasionally use to do some chart work outside of my office. Is it okay to save and close the individual Chartbook on my main office laptop and then copy that Chartbook file to my secondary laptop without completely closing Sierra Chart?

I usually have 3–4 Sierra Chart instances running at the same time on my main office laptop, so I would prefer not to have to shut everything down just to transfer one Chartbook file.

Is saving and closing the individual Chartbook before copying it sufficient, or does Sierra Chart need to be completely closed?

Yes for sure this is fine:
