Besides [emailing results](/help/actions-automation/sending-results-by-email), an Action can save each run's output to your [**Library**](/help/your-knowledge-library/what-is-the-library) as a file. Saved runs are tagged with a [**Label**](/help/labels/creating-customizing-labels-colors-icons) so you can find them together, compare them over time, and even feed them back into future runs.

1. In the create or edit dialog, check **Save each Action run's output to my Library as a file with label**.
2. Click **Create label** to make a new Label (Chief pre-fills a name like "Action Output: \[your Action name]"), or click **Choose existing label** to pick one you already have.
3. The selected Label appears as a chip. Remove it with its X, or add more by repeating the step.

From then on, every run is written to your Library and tagged with that Label.

<Warning>
  ⚠️ **Important:** If Save to Library is checked you must pick at least one Label, or saving is blocked with "Please create a label for this Action's output."
</Warning>

<Note>
  ℹ️ **Good to know:** Tagging saved runs with a Label is what makes [deduplication](/help/actions-automation/deduplication-avoiding-repeat-reports) possible — Chief can read past runs under that Label to avoid repeating itself.

## FAQ

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Where do saved runs show up?">
    In your Library as files, carrying the Label you chose. [Filter by that Label](/help/labels/tagging-files-filtering-by-label) to see the full history of the Action's output.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="My run completed but nothing was saved — what happened?">
    Saving to Library can fail independently of the run itself (you may see "Saving to Library failed"). Confirm the Action still has Save to Library checked with a valid Label, and that the run actually produced output. [Re-run it manually](/help/actions-automation/viewing-run-history-running-manually) to retry.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I use more than one Label?">
    Yes. Add several Labels and each saved run will carry all of them.
