Add to Library is autosaved.
Add Format (inside Metadata editor) is not saved until you accept (not Cancel) the current book details
I learned this by moving the file from MY to be added folder to MY done folder, before I exited the metadata... I got to see a nice missing file error message
Hi, thanks.

Lets see if I understand you correctly. Creating a library and then adding books to that, Calibre is automatically saving everything to that library.

Saving to disk is, uh, hmmmm, if you want to save books selected in your library somewhere else... as a backup or something? Or maybe if you're converting a pdf to an epub, then you can save the original pdf elsewhere just in case you ever need it?

Add format... I haven't the slightest idea .. lol.

I did read the manual about 'save to disk'. The problem is, to me, it just is describing the function and not giving an example for what and when to use it for. Examples in manuals would really help.
