Suspension Air Pump

All,
Okay. I am dumb. I bought a suspension pump for my bike and I not sure how it works.

I know you screw it onto the fitting to the desired pressure. Then what? Do you just unscrew it off, put the cap on and go on the way or what? If you hit the bleed button, the pressure goes out. What the heck am I missing??!!

Suspension Air Pump

So how to not loose the pressure? The air bladder is so small, how do you keep it from not coming out? On off road pedal bikes, those pumps have a valve that you bleed the pressure out of the li e, then you unscrew it.
