Before you exit Maya, ensure you save any work that you want to retrieve and continue with at a later time.

To exit Maya

1. Select File > Exit from the main menu.

   Maya does one of the two following actions:

• If you have saved your scene immediately preceding the Exit command, Maya exits.
• If you have not recently saved your scene, a message prompt appears on the screen asking if you want to save your changes. Click either Save, Don’t Save, or Cancel.
