Yup. Newb here. Just started learning UE4. Anyways, i can’t save my levels. I’we been doing the very basic stuff while following tutorials. Creating a level from scratch. And editor will auto save my work from time to time. Also, i go under File/save before i close the editor. The problem is, when i go under my projects, and try to load the level i’we been working on (thumbnail shows the level i’we been creating), instead of that level every single time i get that basic starter level with floor, 2 chairs and desk. How do i save and load my projects?
To save a level:
-just do the changes
-click onto “save” (file-save)
-now a window should appear - choose a level name - save
To open a level:
-go to file - open - choose the level
To set your map as the default startup map:
-go into the project settings - maps&modes - choose your map 
Maker sure to save all your stuff in the content folder of your project.
Hi DuxCro,
Try going to file>Open Level. Is your level saved there? The project is set up to automatically load a specific level on startup, which can be changed within the Project Settings>Maps and Modes menu.
beat me to it ;).
OK. I set it as default map to load under maps and modes. Thank you.
