Your contacts get automatically saved to the file system after each successful command execution. There is no need to save manually.

### Editing the data file

ConText data are saved automatically as a JSON file `[JAR file location]/data/contacts.json`. Advanced users are welcome to update data directly by editing that data file.

<div markdown="span" class="alert alert-warning">:exclamation: **Caution:**
If your changes to the data file makes its format invalid, ConText will discard all data and start with an empty data file at the next run. Hence, it is recommended to take a backup of the file before editing it.
