# Save a Measurement

In this section, learn how to save your measurement diagrams, and how to keep them organised by creating project folders.

{% hint style="info" %}
Measurements are stored locally on your device and are **not automatically backed up**. If your device is lost, reset, or the app is removed, any unsaved data may be permanently lost. To protect your data, we strongly recommend:

* Saving your measurements regularly
* Exporting and backing up important files to another device or cloud service
  {% endhint %}

1. Tap **File**.

3. Tap the **+** icon.
4. Enter a **New Project Folder Name**.
5. Tap **Save** and your folder will appear.
6. Tap on the **arrow** in the top-left corner to return to the canvas.

{% hint style="info" %}
If you open and close a file without making any changes, you won't receive a prompt to save, and nothing will have changed. If you open a file and make changes, you'll be presented with two options: **Save** and **Save As** — **Save** overwrites your existing file including any changes, while with **Save As**, you save the updated file as a new version, with a new file name and/or folder.
