# Saving and Publishing Your Changes

Whenever you change the configuration of the Link11 WAAP platform within the UI, **you must save your changes**, and **you must publish them to the cloud as well**.

{% hint style="warning" %}
If you do not save your changes, they will be lost when you go to a different page within the user interface. You will not be prompted or asked to confirm the abandonment of your changes.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
The Publishing process checks the saved changes for errors. If no errors are found, they are pushed to the cloud.
{% endhint %}

## Saving Changes

The various Editor pages within the UI have **"Save"** buttons in the top row of controls. Select this button to save whatever changes have been ma.de

Note that the **"Save"** button only saves your changes within your local session. To push them to your planet in the cloud, you must publish the changes as well. 

## Publishing Your Changes

Follow the process described here: [Publish Changes](https://waap.docs.link11.com/console-walkthrough/system/publish-changes).
