# Saving a Project

It is recommended that you save your encrypted projects as .djx files in a known directory. In the event that you need to modify data file input or content, you can easily access the original encryption process by opening the saved projects.

To save a Data Protection project:

After you have encrypted all the processes, select File > Save Project, or click on the toolbar. If you want to save the Data Protection project with a new name, select File > Save Project As.

NOTE The Data Protection utility saves the input/output paths relative to the saved project file. You can easily move your work from one computer to another by moving the project file, while retaining its relative location to the data files as specified in the encryption setup.
