# Commit changes Except the commands executed directly via the query editor, for every change you made via the GUI, you have to commit the changes to the server for it to take effect. After you commit, your database actually gets modified. To commit changes, press Commit () button on the left toolbar or use shortcut key **`⌘ + S`**. ![](https://2743975646-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-LriZ7WXXZykpg6_MQsw%2F-LrtPWhRjnq2UrVm2JPH%2F-LrtRKqhSwDTNCPo1LyH%2Fcommit.gif?alt=media\&token=e72f35f8-8578-467e-b88b-1fc2fa0ca6dd)
