When FileMaker Pro saves a file

data. The following actions do not cause the file to be saved:
1 Displaying a different record or layout (unless that record or layout has
been modified)
1 Sorting records or modifying a sort order
1 Performing find operations such as Find, Show All Records, Omit Record,
or modifying a find request

toolbar
Choose To
Copy of current file Duplicate the entire file, including the tables, field definitions,
layouts, scripts, page setup options, and data. Duplicating a file is
useful before you make extensive changes to the file.
Compacted copy
(smaller)
Compact the entire file into less disk space by reclaiming unused
space in the file. Saving a compacted copy is useful if you edit many
records frequently.
Clone (no records) Save a file’s tables, field definitions, layouts, scripts, and page setup
options, without the data. Make a clone when you want a template
of the file schemas.
