# Saving a milestone for a workload in AWS WA Tool
<a name="save-milestone"></a>

You can save a milestone for a workload at any time. A milestone records the current state of the workload.

**To save a milestone**

1. From the workload details page, choose **Save milestone**.

1. In the **Milestone name** box, enter a name for your milestone.
**Note**  
The name must be between 3 and 100 characters. At least three characters must not be spaces. Milestone names associated with a workload must be unique. Spaces and capitalization are ignored when checking for uniqueness.

1. Choose **Save**.

After a milestone is saved, you can't change the workload data that was captured in that milestone.
