1- Click on Save link on the top right corner of the Design Space.

2-Add a descriptive name and click on Save Green Button.

3- Now that our project is saved, we need to make sure that our right machine is selected, to that, we click on the link next to the Make Green Button and from the options listed, we choose the one that we are going to use. In our case it is the Maker.
