There isn't a way to have the new or old results automatically saved under a different name. I would suggest making copies of the files before edits and after edits but before rerunning if you want to keep track of the changes. Depending on what you are making edits to, you would likely need to make copies of brainmask.mgz, wm.mgz, lh.pial, rh.pial, lh.white, rh.white. Allison

Dear all,

I have run the recon-all process on my subject im01. Now I am checking for errors and found some. I also found the solution steps. However, as far as I understand it, every time I make a change, this will be permanently done. Is there a way to keep the steps I have done so far and to same further changes to a new subject file, e.g. im01_skullcorrected.

I would just like to backup the steps I have done in case I worsen the solution so far and in case I want to compare them. Also, is there a way that the results from recon-all are saved under a different name? Thanks, Maria
