During compression, EPLAN checks which project data is used in the project and whether the project data is consistent. All of the project data that is not used and is part of the scope of the compression is deleted. The settings for the scope of compression are stored in schemes. This allows you to save the settings you use most often for easy reuse.
If you have already stored the scope of compression as a scheme, you only need to select the existing scheme. To exclude layers of the project structure from compression, you need to define a filter.
