What is the difference between ‘Save’ and ‘Save As’?

When you save a file for the first time the ‘Save As’ dialogue box is displayed and you are asked to provide a location and filename for the file.

On future occasions clicking ‘Save’ will overwrite the original file with the new version.

Should you wish to keep both the current and previous version use the ‘Save As’ command and provide a new filename and/or location.

How do I save my file?

1. Click the ‘Save’ button in the ‘Quick Access Toolbar.
   OR
   Click ‘File’, ‘Save’.
   
   If you have previously saved the file it will be overwritten. Otherwise, the ‘Save As’ window will be displayed.
2. Pinned and recently used folders will appear at the right hand side. Click one of these folder to save the file within it.
3. Click ‘Browse’ to open the ‘File Explorer’ window and locate the appropriate folder.
4. Name the file, if required, by deleting the data in the ‘Filename’ section and type the new name.
5. Click ‘Save’.

How do I ‘Save As’?

1. Click File, Save As
2. Click ‘Browse’ to locate the appropriate folder in which the file should be saved. Alternatively, use the ‘Recent’ section to automatically open a folder which has been previously used.
3. Name the file, if required, by deleting the data in the ‘Filename’ section and type the new name.
4. Click ‘Save’.

How do I use the ‘Autosave’ option?

Although the ‘Autosave’ option looks like it is switched off and cannot be turned back on.  It is actually switched on. This means, that your file will autosave every 10 mins.

This sounds great, however, if you have opened a previously saved file and make changes - remember to ‘Save As’ as soon as you open it, to ensure you do not lose the original file.
