How to enable state saving on button click?

To enable state saving, I know you can do

$('#example').DataTable( {
  "stateSave": true
} );

But what if I don't want to enable this feature until the user clicks a "Save Filter Settings" button? I have looked through the API for state.save() and state.loaded() but I'm still a little confused how to proceed. I currently have something like

            function saveButton() {
               var oTable = $('#example').DataTable();
               loadTable = oTable.state.save();
            }

How do I load this saved table state now?
