# Exiting SANbox Manager

The very first time you exit the SANbox Manager application (or if the default fabric view file was deleted), you will be prompted to save the current fabric view to the default fabric view file (fc_view.dft) with a password. The password you enter will be encrypted and saved with the default fabric view file in your working directory on your workstation.

When you start your next SANbox Manager session, you will be prompted for the same password so SANbox Manager can automatically open the fabric view that was last saved with the default fabric file. When exiting future SANbox Manager sessions, the default fabric file is saved automatically without entering the password. To prevent the default fabric file from automatically being saved when exiting SANbox Manager, disable the View File Auto Save and Load feature in the Preferences dialog.

To exit SANbox Manager and save the current fabric view to the default fabric view file, do the following:

1. Open the File menu, and select Exit to open the Save Default Fabric File dialog.

2. Type a password in the Default File Password field.

3. Click the Save View File button. To exit without saving the fabric view, click the Exit Without Saving button. To not close the SANbox Manager application, click the Cancel Exit button.
