How To Leave
To leave the MODIFY mode and return to the top of the menu, press <esc>. If you have made any changes to the partitions, you will be asked if you want to save (UPDATE) or cancel (UNDO) the modifications. (See below.)
Canceling/Saving ChangesWhen you leave the MODIFY mode, you’re asked if you want to UPDATE or UNDO the changes you have made.

Updating the changes will save the changes you have made and leave you in the main menu. You’ll need to format any modified partitions to make them useable.
