Saving Scripts

There are three ways of saving scripts:

To save a new script, select File > Save as (or press Shift+Ctrl/Cmd+S).

To update changes to a script already saved, File > Save (or press Ctrl/Cmd+S).

To save and upgrade to the next version, File > Save new version (or press Alt+Shift+S).

To Save a Script

1.   Select File > Save as.

The Save script as dialog opens.

2.   Browse to the directory where you want to store the script. For instructions on using the file browser, see Using the File Browser.
3.   In the field in the bottom of the dialog, enter a name for the script after the folder path, for example firstscript_v01.nk.
4.   Click Save.

TIP:  The _v01 string in the end of a script name allows you to use the Save new version feature. Selecting File > Save new version saves the current version of your script and increments its name (that is, saves the different versions under different names using _v01, _v02, _v03, and so on, in the end of file names). This only works when the file name includes a number that can be incremented.
