Saving your work
Before you turn off the computer using the Shut down command,
save your work on the internal storage drive, external media, flash
media, or optical disc. This is one of the most important rules of

Many applications offer a feature that saves documents at regular
intervals. Check your program’s documentation to see if it has an
automatic save feature.
