> > Select the Save icon in the tool bar at the top of the Ghidra Tool.

## Save As

Saves the currently open program to a new program file. This new program file becomes the program that is active in the tool. When selecting Save As..., Ghidra will prompt for a filename. To perform this action:

1. From the Ghidra Tool's menu, select File Save As....
2. The Save As... dialog appears.

3. Select the folder for saving the program and enter the new Name of the program.
4. Click the Save button.
5. The program is saved to the new name. This new program is the one now active in the Tool.

If an existing program is selected from the Save As... dialog, an overwrite confirmation dialog will be displayed.

## Save All

Saves any currently open programs. If any program has never been saved before, Ghidra will prompt for a filename.
