What is the difference between Save and Save As?

• A. Save updates the current file; Save As creates a new file or saves to a new name/location
• B. Save As saves changes to the same file
• C. Save creates a copy of the file in the same location
• D. Save overwrites the file's creation date

Answer: (A)

Save updates the file you’re working on, using the same name and location, so your latest changes are saved to that existing document. Save As, by contrast, creates a new file: you choose a new name (and often a different folder or even a different format), leaving the original file unchanged. So you’d use Save to keep working in the same document, and Save As when you want to keep a copy with a different name or in a different place (or format). Saving typically updates the modification time of the file, not its creation date.
