Two options, Save and Save and close, are disabled until the contents of the fields are modified.

When clicking the Save and close option all the entered data is saved, the blade is closed, and the user is redirected to the home page.
Navigating to another tab in the blade without explicitly saving any changes made in the previous tab won’t cause the changes to be lost. However if the X button in the blade header is clicked, the User Settings blade will be closed and any unsaved changes will be lost.
