I just created a picture I am happy with but don't see how to save the picture in different formats, e.g. png or jpg.  I'm sure I am missing something somewhere.

I am using the software on a Linux desktop.

In the Assistant, the final step is '3. Create panorama...', here you can change the output format from TIFF to PNG or JPEG.

That was it, kept looking under file for a way to save it with a different format.  Thank you.  Now to compress it so it can be sent through email.

JPEG and PNG are inherently compressed.

Hmm, both formats can be inherently compressed. It's optional, with
varying degrees of compression. I think their minimum compression levels
are 2:1 (LZW?). TIFF has the same (or even more) flexibility.

Sometimes the difference between an image for email and for print is
only a matter of a how compressed it is. JPG compression can make a big
difference - a JPG compressed at 100% (no lossy compression) vs one at
60%, for example.
