# How to save  simulation summary output data

At simulation runtime, a variety of information is displayed, including parameters and multiple graphs. This summary data can also be saved so you can refer to it after the simulation has completed.

To save and view simulation summary outputs:

1. On the **Home** tab, click **General**.
2. The **Application Settings** will open in a new window.
3. On the **Project Settings** tab, check the box to **Save simulation summary files**
4. Click **Apply**, and then **OK** in the pop-up that appears. Then close the **Application Settings** window.
5. Run a simulation in the normal manner and wait until this has completed. This can be a 1D river, 1D urban, 2D, or integrated simulation.
6. Navigate to the folder containing the simulation and locate the Excel file with the same name as the simulation.
7. Open this file in Excel to review the outputs that were displayed at simulation runtime.
