Finish the MASK edit

@gt6313297 

@Be sure to Enable "Automatically Write Changes IntoXMP" or the changes will only be saved in the catalog.

Should you open the file in ACR it will be unedited and the metada you have written will not be readable outside LrC.

Thank you all

Masking works the same as other Lightroom Classic edits you already use: As soon as you commit an edit, it’s recorded, even before you exit masking. You can see this by watching the History panel. Create or edit a mask, and you’ll see a new mask edit step in the History panel…your mask work was saved right away, whether you continue masking or switch to another feature like Healing, Crop, or Edit.

It is saved automatically. You don't have to specifically do a "save". You can click on the Edit icon to move on to other things.

By clicking on the top left most icon. Please note that masks themselves are not edits. They are only selections to restrict your edits to a part of the photo. The edits are applied by using the sliders of the mask panel.
