	For example, if you create a [[Glossary:Collection\|collection]] called ''Chemistry'', SuperMemo will create a file ''Chemistry.kno'' and a folder called ''[CHEMISTRY]''. You should leave the management of the insides of the ''[CHEMISTRY]'' folder to SuperMemo (unless you truly understand [[~~Files used by~~ SuperMemo\|SuperMemo files and folders]] and how SuperMemo uses them).

	'''For advanced users:''' If you are using a commercial collection available on CD or DVD, you can save lots of space if you backup only the learning process. You can do it with '''[[File menu\|File]]~~ ~~: Export~~ ~~: Learning process'''. Note that this will not preserve changes you have made to texts in your collection. In case of a mishap, you can reinstall your commercial collection and restore the learning process with '''[[File menu\|File]]~~ ~~: Import~~ ~~: Learning process'''. For example, a copy of Advanced English without its secondary storage multimedia files takes nearly 50 MB while the learning process backup takes from 0.1 to 3 MB depending on how much work you have put in repetitions.~~ ~~		'''For advanced users:''' If you are using a commercial [[Glossary:Collection\|collection]] available on a CD or DVD, you can save lots of space if you backup only the learning process.
