# 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**.
