WHY

I just spent the past 4 hours trying to complete a class assignment where we had to use Stager. The program glitched, gave me a brief error message, then shut down. All my progress was lost. I don't know where to go to submit an official report, or find proof that the program crashed so my professor doesn't take points away. If anyone has any suggestions, I'd really appreciate it as I've been up all night and the assignment is due at noon EST USA.

I realise it is too late to help you with this situation now but please learn from it.

Whenever you are working on an important project, in whatever software you are working be it Stager, Photoshop, In Design, Word...., always make incremental saves while you work. So that would be documentname001.xxx,  documentname002.xxx , documentname003.xxx ... etc.

That way if you have a crash, or you make a mistake when saving, you can always step back to your last incremental save and pick up from  there, instead of losing hours/days/weeks of work.  

I hope things worked out OK for you.
