# Saving a Project

You can save a project at any point in the creation process. Thales recommends that you always save a project after its component binaries have been protected.

To save a project:

1.From the File menu, select Save Project. The Save As dialog box is displayed.

2.Choose a file name for your project. If required, specify the directory in which the project should be saved. Click Save. The project is saved in the Projects directory. You define the location of this folder in the Default Directories tab of the Sentinel LDK Envelope Settings dialog box.

NOTE Alternatively, you can select Save Project As from the File menu, and then save your project with a new name.
