a study can be saved in HDF
(by default) or ASCII files (see also: Setting ASCII save option).
You can also specify two options of saving your study:
In one HDF file: in this case all components used during this study session will write their data into one common HDF file.
In multiple files (see also: Setting Multifile save option) : in this case SALOME will create one base HDF file which will store the main information about the saved study and several other special files with particular extensions storing the data written by each component which has been used during this study session. Opening of this study requires that ALL saved files should be stored in the SAME directory. If you would like to copy your saved study in another directory or machine, you should copy all stored files. Otherwise, if you try to open this study, some data will be lost and it will lead to invalid functioning of the SALOME platform.
To save an existing study :
In
the main toolbar click 
or
from the main menu select File
> Save option.
Your study will be automatically updated.
If your study hasn't been
previously saved, this option will call the standard Search File dialog
box where you can enter the name for your study and save it.
To save a study with a new name:
From the main menu select File > Save as option. In the standard Search File dialog box enter a new name for your study and click Save button.
To close a study:
From the main menu select File > Close option or click on the cross in the upper right corner of the study window.

previously saved, this option will call the following dialog box with
several options:
Unload option allows to unload your current study from the SALOME Desktop. In the same working session you can reload it again (see: Opening studies). But if you quit the SALOME application, all changes in the unloaded study will be LOST.
To close a definite study window:
Click on the small cross button in the right upper corner of the study window. If it is the last study window this operation will result in closing of the whole study.
