# Save File

## Overview

![The Save File Node.](/files/hiyyhtn9O2hVbfOul6ae)

**Save File** is an *io* **Node**, which allows one to store a specified file containing relevant data from the current project, such as the value of a variable. Providing a location gives a future point of access for the user, which can then be loaded using **Load File**. When saving a **Dictionary**, **JSON Stringify** must be used. This allows for persistent data between sessions.

[**Scope**](/incari-studio/2023.1/toolbox/overview.md#scopes): **Project**, **Scene**, **Function**, **Prefab**.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.incari.com/incari-studio/2023.1/toolbox/io/savefile.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
