Save your database design

When you are finished designing or modifying a database, you need to save your changes.

In the top right corner of the Designer, click Save.

You then have the option to add a comment. The addition of comments is good practice as they're very useful for version control and troubleshooting. They help you keep track of design versions and remind you of the purpose of building the database or making changes. The comment is displayed in the Versions tab of Designer.

If you don't want to add a comment, click Save. If you do want to add a comment, click Comment and Save, then type your comment and click Save.

Next step in the design a database process: Build your database.
