Save session as compound document

Save sessions by default as compound documents. Compound documents include all customizations (such as keyboard maps and themes) associated with the session.

If you open a session that was created before enabling this setting and make changes to the session, the session will be saved as a compound document at that time. However, if you make changes to a referenced file, such as a keyboard map, and don’t change the session itself, the change will be saved to the external keyboard map file and the session will continue to reference that file.

It is accessed by clicking the File menu (when using the ribbon user interface). .
