3 SAVING & SHARING WORKBOOKS

Save and Save As

Excel offers two ways to save a file: Save and Save As. These options work in similar ways, with a
few important differences:

• Save: When you create or edit a workbook, you'll use the Save command to save your
changes. You'll use this command most of the time. When you save a file, you'll only
need to choose a file name and location the first time

• Save As: You'll use this command to create a copy of a workbook while keeping the
original. When you use Save As, you'll need to choose a different name and/or location
for the copied version.

To save a workbook:

It's important to save your workbook whenever you start a new project or make changes to an
existing one. Saving early and often can prevent your work from being lost. You'll also need to pay

close attention to where you save the workbook so it will be easy to find later.

1. Locate and select the Save command on the Quick Access Toolbar.

2. If you're saving the file for the first time, the Save As pane will appear
in Backstage view.

3. You'll then need to choose where to save the file and give it a file name. To save the
workbook to your computer, select Computer, then click Browse. Alternatively, you can
click OneDrive to save the file to your OneDrive.
