Save a jigsaw using the Edges Only buttons

Click the "Edges Only” button when you're done solving your jigsaw. This will display all the edges of the pieces, over the sections that are joined to the puzzle. This feature allows you to save your puzzle at any given time. The saved puzzle will also have a timer, which will display the number of minutes, seconds, and hours that have elapsed since the start of the puzzle.

You can also select multiple pieces at a given time. This will highlight them and save as one. Another handy feature is the 'Snap Indicator,' which appears when two puzzle pieces are close enough to snap together. If the Snap Indicator isn't working, you can save the puzzle by choosing the pieces one-by-one.

Mounting a puzzle on a backingboard or frame

Mounting a jigsaw puzzle that has been saved is not as simple as it seems. After saving the puzzle, choose a suitable frame. Next, decide on the right size frame for the puzzle. Many frames come with catches on the back that hold the puzzle between cardboard or glass. Cheap frames can be found in secondhand shops. Make sure you measure the length of the mounting board.

Clear box frames are great for framing puzzles. These frames can be purchased at craft and frame retailers. You can also use a nonglue mounting board. It will need drying for 24 hours before mounting.

After mounting the puzzle on the board, you must adhere it to something to keep it flat. Foam or wax paper can be used, provided that the pieces are slightly smaller than the backingboard. Also, ensure it has all pieces. Place the puzzle on the backing board. To add weight to the puzzle while it dries you can place things on top.
