Saving your work
Before you turn off the computer using the Shut down command, 
save your work on the internal storage drive, external media, flash 
media, or optical disc. This is one of the most important rules of 
computing.
When you turn off the computer using the Sleep or Hibernate 
commands, your work should be there when you resume. 
Many programs offer a feature that saves documents at regular 
intervals. Check your program’s documentation to see if it has an 
automatic save feature.
