+<h2>Freezing DLL Projects</h2>
+<p>Use the <b>Project > Freeze Exports</b> menu command to freeze a entire project, normally a DLL, to ensure backward compatibility of a new release. The result is a .def file that can be imported into other projects. You cannot freeze a single file of the project, only the entire project. Also, once a project is frozen, only new exports can be added. </p>
+<p class="note"> <b>NOTE</b> A .def file must be included in the project target to export a project. The IDE will not create one if it is missing.</p>
+<div class="step">
+ <h4>Freezing an Active Project </h4>
+ <ol>
+ <li>Select the Project > Freeze Exports menu item or Right-click and select Freeze Exports from the context menu </li>
+ <p>The appropriate <b>abld</b> command is called in the background and a .def file is generated that can be imported into other projects. </p>
+ </ol>
