# Saving a Grade

When you save a grade by clicking the Save button under the Grade name field in the Setup/Grade menu, the changes are saved by overwriting the currently loaded grade.

Important If you have a cut loaded without an associated grade, clicking Save will create grade called "default". If you want to create an actual grade version number, ie. grd01, you need to click New Version.

To Save Changes to an Existing Grade:

1. In the Main menu, click Setup, and then click Grade. The Grade menu appears.
2. Make sure the grade you want to save is loaded.
3. Do one of the following:
   - Click Save or press S to save the grade as a binary file.
   - Hold down Ctrl and click Save to save the grade as an XML file.

The current settings are saved to the existing grade version.
