# Saving to the Clip Library

You can save the following components of the EditDesk list to the clip library:

- A Source Area
- A Record Area
- The EditDesk list itself (all areas and folders in the current EditDesk list)

When you save these components to the clip library, they are appended to the existing clip library contents. For example, when you save a Source Area to the clip library, the Source Area appears as an entry in the clip library. You can expand the Source Area in the clip library to see the list of clips it contains.

Similarly, when you save an EditDesk list to the clip library, all its entries appear in the clip library. You can expand these entries in the clip library to see their contents.

When you do a save, if entries of the same name are found to already exist in the clip library, you are given the following options.

Add
  Adds the entry without overwriting the existing entry. The two entries will have the same name and will coexist.
Replace
  Replaces the existing entry. If there are multiple existing entries with the same name, they are all replaced.
Skip
  The entry is not saved.

To save a Source Area or Record Area to the current clip library:

1. In the EditDesk list, select the Source or Record Area you want to save.
2. Click Save Selected.

To save the EditDesk list to the clip library:

1. In the EditDesk list, select the grey, top-level default folder.
2. Click Save Selected.

Once entries are saved to the clip library, they can be loaded back to an EditDesk list. If you do this, just make sure to select EditDesk list in the Destination box to load the selected entries to the EditDesk list
