Exiting Illustrator


    When you are finished creating artwork in Illustrator, you can quit the program. This frees memory for use in other applications.

To close a file and quit Illustrator:

  1. Choose File > Exit (Windows) or Illustrator > Quit Illustrator (Mac OS).
  2. If the file has not yet been saved or named, a notice appears giving you the option of saving the file. To save the file, click Save, enter a name in the Name text box (if necessary), choose a file format and location, and then click Save.
