Saving Babysteps and Level results?

Hi,

I have just begun using Babysteps and like being able to tweak Z on the fly at the start of a print.

Can I save the babysteps? How?

IF I save the Babysteps, will Marlin then drop the Bed Leveling as it is wont to do when saving almost anything?

Thanks

Babystepping enables movement of the axes by tiny increments without changing the current position values.
This feature is used primarily to adjust the Z-Axis in the first layer of a print in real-time.

If it doesn't change the values how can you save.it

Though the distance of any number baby steps can be calculated into a Z-Offset value.

Umm, by reading the Marlin Documentation!
To wit M290 and M500 for Saving baby-step settings.

Now, back to my original question ?
And, the answer is: I tested it myself and Marlin drops all the Leveling data.

Ok then I stand corrected in Configuration_adv.h you have to enable

  //#define BABYSTEP_DISPLAY_TOTAL          // Display total babysteps since last G28

  //#define BABYSTEP_ZPROBE_OFFSET          // Combine M851 Z and Babystepping
  #if ENABLED(BABYSTEP_ZPROBE_OFFSET)
    //#define BABYSTEP_HOTEND_Z_OFFSET      // For multiple hotends, babystep relative Z offsets
    //#define BABYSTEP_ZPROBE_GFX_OVERLAY   // Enable graphical overlay on Z-offset editor
  #endif
#endif

You can see I have not enabled them,
Did not know, Now will have to learn more about this feature to see how this will effect the Babystepping nozzle height for printing.

Enable this to restore bed leveling data

#define RESTORE_LEVELING_AFTER_G28
