6. After verifying the report, you can either save it within the system for future reference. To do this, locate the **Save** button, which is positioned in the upper-left corner of the report interface. Clicking this button will store the current report layout and data for future access. It’s important to use the standard settings whenever possible to maintain consistency. If changes are needed, **create a duplicate of the layout** and save it locally to avoid potential data loss during updates or reinstallation of marketplace modules.
