func save(_ subscription: CKSubscription) async throws -> CKSubscription
```

## Parameters

The subscription to save.

## Discussion

This method throws an error if the request fails, such as when the network is unavailable or the device doesn’t have an active iCloud account.

For information on a more convenient way to save subscriptions, see [`modifySubscriptions(saving:deleting:)`](/documentation/CloudKit/CKDatabase/modifySubscriptions(saving:deleting:)).
