Saving a New Entry and Saving a Database

Once each participant has created a new entry for their database, ask everyone to click OK to save it – once done, the new entry should appear in the larger pane of their main database screen, with all the relevant information they included displayed in each column. Now, explain that since they’ve made a change to their new database, that database must also now be saved in order to maintain the updated information.
Some versions (KeePass for Windows) require saving the entire database before closing it – in this case, the name of the database (e.g. “filename.kdb”) will be displayed in the upper left-hand corner with an asterisk (e.g. “filename.kdb*”) indicating that the database hasn’t been saved since the last change was made to it; others (KeePassX) will auto-save the database before closing it. Be sure to clearly note any differences between versions you’re training on.
For practice, once each participant has created and saved a new entry, have them close the database after saving it as well – then, they can practice inputting their Master Password by re-opening this database.
