Ques 41. What is the difference between Save and Save As?
- Use SAVE when you are updating an existing document.
- Use SAVE AS when you are creating a new document from scratch or an existing document. If you do for existing document, this will keep the original document untouched in its original format and create a new document with a new name with updated data.
- Example: Open Notepad -> Type something -> Click on File -> Save As. It will save the file by asking file name (sample.txt). If you want to update the file use File -> Save. If you want another file name with (sample.txt file data + added some another data), use Save As. Here sample.txt will be untouched and new file will contain updated data.
