# Saving/Loading

SF uses a common approach to saving and loading through the usage of a save game object that contains all the necessary values and variables to save/load. This save system is also paired with a few functions called inside SF's game instance to save/load data when opening levels through the main menu.\
\
SF includes 3 core events that get called to save, auto-save, and load this data. These functions can all be called manually by using a `SFSaveManager_AC` actor component [reference](https://visualonecompany.gitbook.io/home/core-components/referencing).
