When PersistState is set to true, the save operation is handled automatically, as clearly documented. In that case, manually saving the layout becomes redundant. So, why should we explicitly save the layout when PersistState is already enabled?


{% endtabs %}

To Save the AutoPersist state of the DockingManager, call the [SaveDockState](https://help.syncfusion.com/cr/wpf/Syncfusion.Windows.Tools.Controls.DockingManager.html#Syncfusion_Windows_Tools_Controls_DockingManager_SaveDockState) method of the DockingManager in the window closing event.
