  Not all projects can be saved in a straight forward manner.  Saving the individual content files is not enough to save their interactivity in perpetuity so you may need to consider alternative methods to secure the preservation of some aspects of your project.
  
  You should describe the interactivity in as much detail as possible and document the process through another medium such as video.  You should describe the content and the context in as much detail as possible.  If your project cannot survive in it's initial state, you will want to save as much of the project as you can with the tools available.  
  
  Where applicable, consider making a print backup, if possible.
