Congratulations on your new MacBook Pro! And welcome to the Graffle Forum.

Graffle, like any other software, at times may be frustrating. Hopefully, you will find that eight hours will drop to eight minutes (okay I'm an optimist), or maybe an hour.

May I suggest starting with a small incremental test first. Close it, open it back up and then edit some more. This might help you learn, and it might help you know where files get hidden (put).

Sounds like you're already using the "Save Early, Save Often" maxim.

Hang in there.
