Master File Many hands in the cookie Jar! Who ate all the cookies! Master Files should only be used for read only. The master files are typically used for viewing of other progress. If there are updates that will need to be made in one of the subproject, please simply close out of the master project and make the changes in the subproject. If there is a change in the master file, please change ONLY information in the master file. The master file is assigned to the Program Managers at this point.
