Question of the Day
How does saving work?
💾 Save writes the design to your account. The first save asks for a project name, mints a ten-character project ID and copies the share link to your clipboard; every later save writes back to that same project. In your account one name means one design, so a save under a name you have already used goes into that design rather than starting another. Save As follows the same rule: a new name makes a copy and leaves the original alone, while the same name saves into the design you already have. To branch a design and try something without risking the original, give it a new name — Plan B — first.
