Saving without having to exit after each change [SOLVED]

I am a new user to Audacity and I have a basic question which I could not find the answer to in the help section. I am using version 2.0.6 on Windows 7. Every time I make an edit in Audacity it forces me to exit to save changes as the Save and Save as Buttons are greyed out. Also if I make a change (using effects) and then want to use a different effect the effect menu is greyed out unless I exit the program and reopen. Do you need to exit after every change? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

The effects menus go gray if you’re in Pause instead of Stop.

Thank you so much. This was driving me nuts…
