Clicking Finish will create the project and open its properties on the left and display the cover preview in the Cover Preview frame on the right of the main window. Read more on adjusting project properties in Customizing project. For details on project saving options, please read Saving project.

If you had another project open in the Cover Commander before starting the new project, the program will prompt you whether the active project is to be saved or discarded.

You can adjust the project parameters later by opening the corresponding tab in the program's main window and then altering the options to be adjusted.
