How to Save Descript Project: step-by-step guide
As you make changes to your project (e.g., editing text, trimming audio, adding clips), Descript auto-saves in the background.
If you want to export your project for sharing, you’ll need click "Publish" to publish it.
Customize the export or publish settings, then click "Publish."
Quick answer: To save your work, rely on the automatic background saving feature while making changes in Descript. When you are ready to share your project, click Publish, customize your export or publish settings, and then click Publish again.
