The File menu has the following options:

Open
Open Recent
Save
Save - Saves the current project.
- ".sifz" save a compressed project file.
- ".sfg" will embed images, audio, etc compressed into a zip container.
- If you use ".sif" then the files tend to get pretty large. The best thing to do is not to use any '.' in the path at all, and then synfig will append .sifz (if it's new enough) or .sif (otherwise).
See also Synfig file formats.
Save as
Save As - Saves the current project under a different name.
Again, use .sif, .sifz or .sfg for synfig save files, or use a path without any '.' characters to get the default (compressed if supported).
Save all
