When a Project File is opened, ENERCALC SEL creates a local copy of the file in C:\Users\\\[username]`\AppData\Local\ENERCALC`, and refers to that locally saved file during the current file worksession to minimize the potential for conflicts with read/write attempts across a local area network or thorough a replicator such as Dropbox or OneDrive. While this system works great for most users, some may still experience trouble working across local area networks or through replicators like Dropbox or OneDrive. In these cases, it is recommended to copy an ENERCALC Project File from a network location to a local folder such as C:\Users\\\[username]`\Documents\ENERCALC Project Files`, and work from a locally saved copy. Then save and close the Project File, and copy it back to the network location if desired. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.enercalc.com/sel-faq/using-the-software/general-operation/resolving-network-file-speed.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
