# Saving

> Trigger a save manually:

### **Manual Save**

Trigger a save manually:

**Blueprint**:

```
[Get Save Subsystem]
   ↓
[Flush Saves]
```

**C++**:

```
USaveSubsystem* SaveSubsystem = GetWorld()->GetSubsystem<USaveSubsystem>();
SaveSubsystem->FlushSaves();
```

### **Autosave**

Configure automatic saves:

```
SaveSubsystem->UpdateAutosaveInterval(300.0f);  // Save every 5 minutes
```

**Default**: 300 seconds (5 minutes)

### **Mark Dirty**

When data changes, mark as needing save:

**C++**:

```
void UInventoryComponent::AddItem(UItemDataAsset* ItemData, int32 Quantity)
{
    // ... add item logic ...

    // Mark for save
    USaveSubsystem* SaveSubsystem = GetWorld()->GetSubsystem<USaveSubsystem>();
    SaveSubsystem->MarkDirty(this);
}
```

**Note**: Most UMI components automatically mark themselves dirty on changes.
