# Exiting Fabric View

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

When you start your next Fabric View session, you will be prompted for the same password so Fabric View can automatically open the fabric view that was last saved in the default fabric file. When exiting future Fabric View sessions, the default fabric file is saved automatically without entering the password.

To exit Fabric View 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 save the fabric view to a file. To exit without saving the fabric view, click the Exit Without Saving button. To not close the Fabric View application, click the Cancel Exit button.
