Buttons in GUI (GUIDE) delete themselves when I save the figure

I'm unfamiliar with matlab, but I've been trying to edit someone's existing gui in GUIDE. I'm trying to add another button to it, and I succeed in relabelling it and connecting it (superficially) to the function I need it to run [although when I close it, that section of the gui moves].
However, when I press save in the upper left hand corner, the box containing that button section DISAPPEARS. Because it only does this when I save, I can't even hit undo, I have to go find an old version. Why is it deleting itself when I save?

Hi Alex,
This option is disabled as because they are designed for interactive workflows rather than classic figure editing. Saving is intended to be done programmatically or via the Live Editor export options.Though, downloading the file is possible with Save icon on the top LHS of the screen under figure tab.

Thanks!
