# Save a Project

From the Project Editor window of the project you wish to save, select the Project menu, then click Save Project or Save Duplicate. This will open up a file browser, where you can choose the location and file name of your project. Located on the top right corner of the file browser, the Create Folder button allows one to make a new subdirectory to save the project into.
Please Note:
The project file name is used for identifying your project on disk system whereas the project name is used for identifying your project within DESpot.

### Save Project

Use the Save Project option when you have made changes to a previously saved project and you wish to save the changes using the same project file name. The file browser will only appear when you are saving a new project.

### Save Duplicate

Use the Save Duplicate option when you wish to save the project under a new file name. This will keep the original project file unmodified and save a new copy of the project under the new file name. After choosing a file name, a dialogue will pop up allowing you to change the project name.
