Saving your work
Before you turn off the computer using the Shut down
command, save your work on the internal storage drive,
external media, flash media, or optical disc. This is one of
the most important rules of computing.
Many applications offer a feature that saves documents at
regular intervals. Check your program’s documentation to
see if it has an automatic save feature.
