We can only save action sets. So if you record or edit an action and want to save it (which of course you’ll want to do), you’ll need to select and save the entire action set. This is one of the main reasons why I suggested earlier that you should avoid placing your own actions inside any of the action sets that Photoshop comes with. Keep all of your actions inside your own action sets, which will make it easy to save them, load them, and keep them organized. To save an action set, first select the set you want to save in the Actions palette. Select the action set you want to save in the Actions palette.
