Note; Simply closing a project does not save it.
Save

choose where you’re going to save it on your computer. Remember to save your work
often. The shortcut key for Save is Ctrl+S.
Note: Using Save overwrites your original project with the current, modied project. If you

modied project a different le name.
Save As
Use Save As whenever you want to choose the le name for your project and the location
you want to save it in.
