Save the Design

Save the design by clicking File, then Save. Specify the location and name for the XML file to contain the basic structural information (for example, library_design.xml). A directory or folder structure will also be created automatically to hold the detailed information about the design, as explained in Database Design.

Continue creating and modifying design objects, if you wish. When you are finished, save the design again if you have made any changes, then exit Data Modeler by clicking File, then Exit.

You can later open the saved design and continue working on it, as explained in Saving, Opening, Exporting, and Importing Designs.
