Filters and metrics are unsaved until you keep them. Saving them as a view adds an entry under **Whole Journey**, **High Priority** and **Archived** in the left rail that anyone in the workspace can open, for example "Onboarding gaps" or "Q4 deliveries".

## Before you start

- You have filtered the board or changed its metric. The save button stays disabled until something has changed.

## Steps

1. In Pyn, open **Journey** in the left navigation and set up the board with [filters](https://support.pynhq.com/journey/filter-the-map/) or [metrics](https://support.pynhq.com/journey/read-journey-metrics/).

2. At the top right of the board select **Save as New View**. On **Whole Journey** and **Archived**, which are read-only, the button always reads **Save as New View**; on a view you own it reads **Save View** and updates the view in place.

3. The new view opens and appears in the left rail, named after the view it came from with an asterisk.

4. To name it, select the view-type button at the left of the control bar (it reads **Journey**), then **Rename View**, and type the new name.

> **Note:** To throw away unsaved changes instead, open the arrow beside the save button and select **Discard Changes**.

## Manage a view

The view-type button's menu also offers:

- **Change View Type**: **Journey** (the board), **Table** (one row per moment with its **Category** and **Title**) and the other types the workspace supports.
- **Duplicate View**: copies the view and opens the copy.
- **Export**: downloads the board as an image; see [Export the map as an image](https://support.pynhq.com/journey/export-the-map/).
- **Rename View** and **Archive View**: on a view you saved, rename it or remove it from the rail.

## What you should see

Your view sits in the left rail below the seeded ones and opens with its filters and metric already applied. Reopen it later and it is unchanged until someone selects **Save View** on it again.
