![Save map options [EDI 5.0]](arrow-left.gif){kind=icon}
The Save option allows you decide when you want to save changes you make when creating or modifying a map. With the Save option, when you create or modify a map, the changes you make are not automatically saved each time you make a change. Instead, select File | Save in the main ECMAP window to save your changes.
If you create or modify a map and do not select the File | Save option in the main ECMAP window, you are prompted to save the map when you exit ECMAP, when you reselect the same map, or when you select another map to work on. If you do not use the Save option all modifications since the last save are lost.
The Save option enables you to control when you want to save changes to maps and allows you to revert to the last saved version of the working map without having to recall all the edits you made since the last save and manually removing the unwanted edits.
