Exiting Collect! is very simple. Generally, it takes just a few keystrokes and you are out. However, you can control some things.

Please be aware that your operating system can sometimes hold onto files. When you start Collect! you will open many files in the background. The operating system has control over the state of those files. Sometimes after exiting Collect!, especially with regards to networks, the operating system may not release the previously opened files. If you receive any messages regarding problems when starting Collect! we would advise a complete cold reboot of the computer.

Keep Operators From Exiting The System
