Saving Documents

OfficeDocs saves your work automatically while you edit. This guide explains how saving works, how version history is created, and how to download a copy of your document when needed. 
 How saving works 
 OfficeDocs automatically saves changes as you work, so in most cases you do not need to save manually. A status indicator in the editor shows when changes are being saved. 
 If you want to save manually, you can: 
 
 Press Ctrl+S  on Windows or Linux 
 Press Cmd+S  on Mac 
 Click the Save icon in the toolbar 
 Use File > Save 
 
 Manual saves can create version history entries, making it easier to return to earlier points in the document. 
 Version history 
 Each saved version can be reviewed later. Version history allows you to: 
 
 View previous versions of a document 
 Compare changes between versions 
 Restore an earlier version if needed 
 
 If you want to learn more, refer to the   Viewing Version History  guide. 
 Download a copy of your document 
 To save a copy of the document to your device: 
 
 Open the File menu in the editor. 
 Select Download as or Save as . 
 Choose the file format you want. 
 The file will be downloaded to your computer.  
 
 
 Available formats may include: 
 
 Original format (.docx, .xlsx, .pptx ) 
 PDF 
 Other compatible file types 
 
 Offline editing 
 When using OnlyOffice Desktop Editors , documents may be cached locally for offline access. Any changes made offline are synchronized when the application reconnects to the server. 
 Troubleshooting 
 Changes are not saving 
 
 Check your internet connection. 
 Verify that you have edit permissions for the document. 
 Refresh the page and reopen the document if needed. 
 
 A version does not appear in history 
 
 Wait a few moments for the save to complete. 
 Refresh the version history panel. 
 Very small changes may be grouped with later saves.
