In Blender the File Browser Editor (Figure 15.3) is used to navigate through the file system on

your computer. On a Windows operating system, Windows Explorer or Windows File Explorer

is used. Blender's File Browser is a little different to the Windows system in appearance but uses

the same work flow.

Take a short refresher to analyse what you do when you save something when using a Windows

operating system.

As an example, it is assumed you have written a note using Windows Notepad and you are about

to save the file. You simply go to the top of the Notepad window, click on File, click on Save and

the Save As window displays. In the panel at the top of this window you will probably see a panel

showing This PC > Documents which is telling you that your file will be saved to the Documents

folder on your computer (Figure 15.5). You enter a name for your file (My_Blender_Note.txt) and

click Save. Simple!
