Data view is used for displaying, exploring, selecting and analysing data. Most of the
time, when modeling geodata with ArcMap you will be using the Data View mode.
Layout view is used to show the map as it would be printed on paper. Besides
displaying the geodata, in the Layout view you can add all the items that complete your
map, like title, legend, text, scale bars, north arrow etc.

When you make changes to your document during an ArcMap session, most of
the times you change the representation of the data.
You can keep the changes you have made for future use by saving the Map
Document. This will overwrite the original settings in the document with the new
ones.
Alternatively you may want to save your new representation of the data without
losing the previous settings. You can save your changes in a new Map
Document.
