# Saving Projects

Capo saves your work into Projects, which are self-contained packages including the original audio. Projects can also be synchronized via iCloud.

When you first load an audio file into Capo, it creates a new, untitled Project that contains the audio file as well as all the detected chords, note entries, playback settings, and anything else you've added to the song during your practice.

#### Save a Project

- Choose File > Save… from the main menu at the top of your screen

NOTE: If you attempt to close a project before saving it, you will be prompted for a filename and location to save the file. Even if you did not add your own data to the song, Capo is saving detected information about the song so it won't have to be calculated again on subsequent loads.

TIP: Because Capo uses the system-wide Autosave feature, you won't need to worry about saving your work after this point. Quitting Capo will automatically save all the open documents, and will restore things to how you left them when it is launched again later.

### Saving Projects to iCloud

For versions of Capo purchased from the Mac App Store, you can choose to save your Projects in Capo's application container. Capo will present you with the option to save files in Capo's application container by default when you first attempt to save a file. If you also have an iPhone or iPad running Capo touch, you can access these projects from your device.

NOTE: If you purchased Capo outside the Mac App Store, you can quickly share projects to your device using AirDrop, but subsequent changes will not be synchronized between your Mac and iPhone or iPad.
