What is the difference between 'Save' and 'Save As'?

The difference between "Save" and "Save As" is:

1. Save :
  • Saves the current file with its existing name and location.
  • Overwrites the previous version of the file.
  • Typically used when making updates to an already saved file.

2. Save As :
  • Allows you to save the file with a new name, format, or location.
  • Creates a new copy without affecting the original file.
  • Useful for making different versions of a document or saving it in another format.

In short, "Save" updates the existing file, while "Save As" creates a new version.
