Closing Collage Site

This article will go over the different ways that you can close Collage Site, and the differences between the two.

When closing the Collage Site application, you will be presented with a couple of options:

Quick Shutdown

The Quick Shutdown option will do exactly that. It will very quickly close the Collage Site application, while keeping a few background processes running to expedite Collage Site startup time the next time you launch the application. Use this option when you are not concerned with extra hardware resources (CPU and RAM, mainly) being used in the background, or if you know you will be opening Collage Site again in the very near future.

Full Shutdown

The Full Shutdown option will take a little bit longer to close the application, but it will stop all background processes that were running and related to Collage Site. It will also free up all CPU and RAM resources that were previously being used by the application. Also note that after a Full Shutdown, the startup process of Collage Site the next time you open the application will take slightly longer. Use this option when your hardware resources are limited, or when you know you will not be opening Collage Site for a few days.
