Save and Save As in Excel

Excel has two options to save your work: Save and Save As. Both are useful, but they work differently.

Save

Use the Save command when you want to save changes to your current file. This is the option you'll use most often.

• The first time you save, you need to choose a file name and location.
• After that, you can simply click Save, and your changes will be added to the same file.

Save As

The Save As command is for making a copy of your file.

• It keeps the original file unchanged.
• You will need to give the copy a new name, choose a new location, or both.

These two options help you manage and organize your Excel files effectively.
