    14
    Click the OK button.
    If you click the No button, the module will not be saved.
    15
    Move the module from the New modules module group into the desired module group in the Module Explorer.
    You can select the module in the Modules toolbar, Data base modules tab if it is filed in the Favorites (module bar) module group.

If the module name is entered in the New module dialog box, it appears in all languages. If the module name is entered in the Properties of: <module-name> dialog box, it will only appear in the selected language.
The transfer rows resulting from the needle actions with start conditions are not saved with the module. As a result, this row is not allocated any parameters. The transfer actions will automatically be inserted again when inserting the modules in the pattern and appear in the pattern.
The color palette from the Yarn color toolbar is also not saved with the module, but instead only the color number. The color at the time of saving is shown in the picture of the module links. During the later edition of the module in the Module Editor, the color from the currently set color palette is used. Therefore, the color presentation of modules in the Module Editor and the Modules toolbar may differ.

A module can also contain transparent areas. If you draw with this module in the pattern, then the pattern is not overwritten by the needle pairs with the transparent areas.
