# File

A file refers to a weaving design file.  You can have multiple files (designs) open at once in TempoWeave.   To see techniques to view and switch between multiple designs open at once,  see [Window](https://docs.tempoweave.com/tempoweave/documentation-by-menu-function/window).

Two files are saved for each design.  One has the ".wif" extension and the other the ".twa" extension. See  [file-types-used-by-tempoweave](https://docs.tempoweave.com/tempoweave/general-topics/special-topics/file-types-used-by-tempoweave "mention")for more information.

The File Menu is where new weaving drafts can be started, existing drafts can be opened, files can be saved, renamed and exported. 

The recent designs, folders and browse functions provide methods to quickly access weaving designs on your computer, thumb or cloud drive.
