On the left-hand side you can see the list of folders. You can save your file in the Org.(your company name) folder (available to everyone in the organisation), or your Private.(your name) folder (available only to you). If you are a member of a group, you can also save the file in your Group.(group name) folder (available only to users in that group)

3.Click the folder you would like to save in.

4.The folder's name appears in the Folder Name text box.

5.Fill in the following text boxes:

6.If you want to make the file read-only, click the tick box next to Make this map read only. Read only is useful in preventing people accidentally overwriting your maps. This means that if you want to save any further changes to the map, you need to unlock it first. See To save changes to a read only map.
