The main project is the .fbz6 file, right?

Any other files I should care about?

The .fbpinf, .fblz, .fbw files... these are just temp files, are should they be saved as well?

Thanks!

Hi Sam,   
  
Here’s the help page which describes each of the additional file types, [https://www.finalbuilder.com/finalbuilder/Help/HTML/projectfilesotherfiles.htm](https://www.finalbuilder.com/finalbuilder/Help/HTML/projectfilesotherfiles.htm)   
  
Depending on whether you are just interested in keeping the project file, or if you want to keep all the logs and other information will determine what gets checked into source control. As a minimum, make sure the project file is checked in (FBZ6/FBP6).   
  
Regards,   
Paul.

It’s the variables watch file from earlier versions of FB. That information is now stored in the fbpinf file.
