138Now you have created a new collection, you should save it regularly. To do this, open the [F]ile menu and choose the [S]ave command, or type [Alt] + [F] followed by [S]. After a slight delay while the collection is saved, you will return to the main screen ready to continue. Note that this saved collection needs to be 'created' before it can be viewed through Greenstone (see Previewing Your Collection).
139</p>
140<p style="text-align:justify">
141If the current collection is unsaved and you take any action that might lose it (such as exiting the program or loading another collection), the Librarian Interface will prompt you to save first by presenting a small window in the middle of the screen that won't go away until you attend to it. For the Save prompt, the available actions are:
142</p>
143<p style="text-align:justify">
144[Y]es -- saves the current collection before carrying out the next action. [N]o -- does not save the collection and carries out the next action regardless. [C]ancel -- does not save the collection, but does not carry out the action either. The program returns to the state it was in before the action.
