How do I introduce a new product to PLM?

If you work on a new large assembly not yet saved to PLM, you can highlight the top model of this assembly in the Autodesk Inventor Feature Manager, and then save the entire structure to PLM. If you complete a component in a large assembly, select this component in the Autodesk Inventor Feature Manager, and perform Save and Unlock.
