Save /Save as

Procedure and Commands

1. Go to File >

   • Save if you want to save updates to a file that has been previously saved and you do not want to update the file name or location. This will overwrite the original file.

   • Save As if you're saving a file for the first time or want to save a file with an updated name or location. This will not change the original file.

2. Click the icon that corresponds to the type of file you want to save.
