Hi-
 
So far I can't find this documented anywhere. How is this different from "Save As..."?
 
Thanks-

I believe the only difference is that Save As will leave you with the new project open, and Save Copy As will leave the original one open.

That is correct, if you "Save As" you are now working on the newly saved project. If you use "Save Copy As" you are working on the original project but have saved a new one as well, that's closed.
 
Very handy for saving landmark projects, such as "My Project-Tracking Finished" and carrying on working on "My Project".
 
It may be small but I am finding that one of the highlights of Sonar. Does that make me sad?

No, it doesn't make you sad.   Though it is a small feature, it's indicative of a very thoughtfully designed UI.  Most developers would slap the standard Save As on the menu and call it good.

I was wondering about that feature too, but was too scared to ask in case I was the only dummy in the class

I've started using it already.  I thought it was cumbersome to save as, close, open ...
 
Nice touch that will save a few steps and flow interruption many, many times over the course of time.

It's actually one of my most used new features so far!  I'm liking all the new stuff, but Save Copy As is one of those little things that I find quickly becomes a standard part of my workflow without even thinking about it.    I'm not sure that I've actually used File > Save As since!

I've never heard of this. Is this new in Platinum? Considering how I work that would be super useful.

No way! I had no idea what it was and I know I'm no dummy. At least I'm told by some dumb people I'm smart.
