Saving Story

Just a quick question. I use the Desktop version of T2, and am slowly getting the hang of it, but I've noticed something a bit odd when saving. I have found, that if I want to review my story, I first have to publish it. I am not complaining. I just think it's a bit odd to do it that way. I can see the benefit of creating 'backups' when doing it this way. Is it me or is that how it is meant to be done?

Apologies if my questions are ultra-basic. I have to start somewhere, right? lol
