# Saving templates

> Save and Save As, and macro-enabled workbooks.

When a template is ready, you save it back to the cloud so others can collect
against it. Calc gives you control over what is saved - including which
[sheets](/calc/building-templates/sheets) to keep - and in what format.

## Save vs. Save As

<Cards>
  <Card title="Save" href="/calc/building-templates/saving">
    Overwrite the current template with your changes. New templates route to Save
    As the first time.
  </Card>
  <Card title="Save As" href="/calc/building-templates/saving">
    Save a copy as a new template - give it a name, and choose macro-enabled if
    needed.
  </Card>
</Cards>

## Macro-enabled (.xlsm) templates

If the workbook contains [macros](/calc/building-templates/macros), it must be
saved as `.xlsm`. **Save** detects macros and upgrades the format automatically;
**Save As** lets you choose macro-enabled explicitly when you name the copy.

<Callout type="note" title="Saving needs a connection">
  Templates are stored in the cloud, so saving requires an internet connection.
  Editing is gated by your role and is unavailable on the Go tier - see
  [modes and permissions](/calc/concepts#modes-and-permissions).
