# Saving Layouts

Navigation: Working with Nx Witness > Layout Management > # Saving Layouts |

A layout must be saved when to retain any changes. A layout remains local and will only be available during the current session unless it is saved. When a layout is successfully saved, it displays in the Resource Tree under Layouts and under a specific user name. Sa ved layouts that were open when a session closed will automatically open the next time a user logs in.

Note: Saving a layout saves camera playback state, speed, position, and rotation in all items.
