Saving method files in Quantitative Analysis

Question

Quantitative Analysis version 12.1 
 When I edit a method. For example open a method file .m or .quantmethod.xml (not sure difference), append by adding compounds, and try to save as (save is usually blanked out). I always get this error: "The method [name] already exists. Please specify a different path". 
 How to save methods in Quant? What are the nuances here? Doesn't seem like this should be so complicated.

Hello Justin_F , 
 Currently in Quant 12.x it is not possible to overwrite an existing method file. This is a change from Version 10.x and earlier. There have been requests to restore this functionality and it should be possible to overwrite existing methods from the Save As... dialog in a future update, but there is currently no timeline for when this will be available.
