# save(_:completionHandler:)

Saves a specific record.

## Declaration

```swift
func save(_ record: CKRecord, completionHandler: @escaping @Sendable (CKRecord?, (any Error)?) -> Void)
```

## Parameters

- `record`: The record to save.
- `completionHandler`: The closure to execute after CloudKit saves the record.

## Discussion

Discussion The completion handler takes the following parameters: The saved record (as it appears on the server), or nil if there’s an error. An error if a problem occurs, or nil if CloudKit successfully saves the record. The save succeeds only when the specified record is new, or is a more recent version than the one on the server. For information on a more convenient way to save records, see modifyRecords(saving:deleting:savePolicy:atomically:).
