# Save a DES

From a Tabular Editor or Graphical Editor window of the DES you wish to save, open the DES menu then click on Save or Save Duplicate or click on the Save button on the toolbar. This will open up a file browser (for Save, only for first usage), where you can choose the location and file name of your DES.
Please Note:
The DES file name is used for identifying your DES file on disk and the DES name is used for identifying your DES within DESpot.

### Save

Use the Save option when you have made changes to a previously saved DES and you wish to save the changes using the same DES file name.

### Save Duplicate

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