# Exiting Smoke

At any time, you can choose to exit Smoke. Any clips, along with the effects and edits that you applied, are automatically and continually saved throughout your Smoke session, so there is no need to save before exiting.

To exit Smoke:

1. On the lower-right side of the EditDesk, click Preferences, or press Ctrl+Alt+F6 from anywhere in the application.
2. In the Preferences menu, click Exit Smoke.

   The button changes to a Confirm button.

3. Click Confirm.
