How do you get a diagram ID?

I managed to do this a couple of weeks ago but apparantly not tonight. 

 

I played a real OTB chess game which I wrote down on a piece of paper. I wanted to have it analyzed so I go to Analysis and enter all the moves. 

 

But I don't get a diagram ID....So I just downloaded de PDF. But I would like to get a diagram ID so I can go back to the game and review it whenever I want to. 

I've done this in the past but can't remember how. Please help.

OK so I think the easiest thing to do is to go to a analysis board and put in all your moves like you did last time.

After you do that you want to grab what's called the "PGN" which is basically a bit of code that that tells the chess program what moves were played and can display them back to you. To get this you should click the "download" button which is at the bottom of that white screen with all the moves.

You then click this orange download button and it will allow you to save the PGN to your harddrive so you can view it again.

When you want to view your game again just open your PGN file with a word processor like notepad (easiest). Then copy all the text and when you get to a new analysis board you click the "Load PGN" button and paste it there.

Thanks I know that. PGN was what I meant when I wrote PDF, sorry. 

 

But still I want to make it accesible online so I can watch it when I want to. Like this, see:

Oh I didn't know you could save links like that.
