When you enable the Save Publish settings in document checkbox, the Save password
in document checkbox also becomes selectable (but this is not available for Xara
Hosting/MOW publishing). Select this checkbox to also save the FTP password with the
current document if you are sure that is what you want. This is not recommended
because it means anyone who gets a copy of your design file can publish to your website
without knowing or entering your password!

Switching between Xara Hosting / MOW accounts
You can only work with one Xara Hosting/MOW account at once, because you can only
be signed into one Xara Hosting/MOW account at any one time with Xara Designer Pro X
. Therefore if you want to publish a website to a different Xara Hosting/MOW account,
you need to sign out first, using "SHARE" > "SIGN OUT". Then you can sign into the other
Xara Hosting/MOW account and publish as described above.

Similarly if you load a website document that contains Xara Hosting/MOW account
details that are different to the account you are currently signed into, you’ll see the Xara
Hosting/MOW sign in dialog appear if you try to publish that document so that you can
sign into the appropriate account for that document (this will automatically end your
current Xara Hosting/MOW session).

Saving profiles
Profiles allow you to save a set of publish details on your computer, so you can quickly
retrieve and use those settings again in future, without having to enter them again.

In the PROFILE drop-down list click the SAVE PROFILE button and enter a suitable profile
name. Now you can select the profile from the profile list at the top of the dialog, so you
can use them in other documents without having to re-enter them. You can save a profile
with either Xara Hosting/MOW settings, or FTP settings.

Note: You can delete a profile by selecting it in the PROFILE list and clicking the DELETE
button next to it.
