VIDEO - What is the difference between "Save" and "Save as" when saving a file?
When I made this video I had no idea how popular it would become. Most
computer users presume that newbie's will automatically understand the
difference between save and save as. But this is not true. Every ,
application or software program has a save and save as option. This is why
it has become important to know the clear difference between the two.
Here are some things that are addressed in that article:
What happens when
I press "Save"?
When pressing "Save As", what does it do?
When should I use the "Save As" option?
Why do we need both options, "Save" and "Save As"?
When don't you need to use Save AS?
How to accidentally overwrite files when using Save and Save As
option?
Questions to ask yourself when saving a file?
