Now that you’ve been introduced to Automator, let’s let’s get into the “nitty-gritty.” In the previous Automator post, we learned how to manufacture a workflow that would take photos from your camera, import them into iPhoto, next allow you to e-mail them. Let’s look at the three ways in which you can save that workflow for later reference.

Workflow File
You can

save the workflow as an actual Automator workflow file by clicking File > Save;

choose “workflow” from the format drop-down menu. By saving as an Automator workflow all of your actions are preserved, and when you re-open the file, you will be presented with your workflow just as you left it. that is a great way to save your workflow for editing later on.
