The main difference between "Save As" and "Save" is that "Save As" allows you to save a file with a different name or in a different location, while "Save" simply saves the file with its current name and location.
When you use the "Save As" option, you can choose a new name for the file, select a different file format, or save the file in a different folder or location on your computer. This is useful when you want to create a copy of the file or save it in a different format without overwriting the original file.
On the other hand, when you use the "Save" option, the file is saved with its current name and location, overwriting any previous versions of the file. This is useful when you want to quickly save changes to the existing file without creating a new copy.
