Trouble Programming Cyclone V GX starter kit

Hi,

Very new to FPGAs. Have purchased the Terasic Cyclone V GX starter kit and am using Quartus II to program it.

I am testing the board with some basic or gate code attached to the on-board buttons and LEDs. I can compile the code fine, create the .sof and use that to program the FPGA.

Once programmed, the code/buttons/LEDs work as expected. The problem is that it seems to wipe the code every time I turn the dev board off and it goes back to the flashing LED demo.

I am assuming I need to commit it to the flash memory somehow, but I have no idea how to do that, and cant seem to find anything to do with that in the user guide or online.https://alteraforum.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=14498&stc=1

Any help will be appreciated
