![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 1 minute to read  
Save a file to a folder using the SaveFileDialog component in the RPA Desktop Design Studio. By default, the component opens the last file dialog you
had opened.

## Before you begin

Role required: none

## About this task

There are properties that you configure for the SaveFileDialog component. For more
information, see [Dialog component properties](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/hN6KE2YqcMAmGzacSRwm1A "Refer to the descriptions of the properties of the Dialog components. You can update the properties, if required.").

## Procedure

1. In the Toolbox pane, navigate to Utilities\>Dialogs.
2. Drag the SaveFileDialog component onto the Design surface.
3. To open the last file dialog you had opened, right-click the SaveFileDialog component bar.
4. Click Run From Here.
5. In the Save As dialog, enter the name of the file in the File name field.
6. Click Save.  
   The Result (Boolean) and FileName (String) returns the Boolean response to whether you had opened a file and the file name and path respectively.
7. Connect the data and control ports of SaveFileDialog to the corresponding ports of other components.
