Create a local copy

To prevent data loss when working in the cloud, you can create a local copy of the file you are editing.

If an error occurs while working in the cloud (for example, the connection to the server is interrupted), a dialog box is displayed with the following text: “Your changes to the file <file name> were not saved on cloud. Do you want to save a local copy?” In this window, click Create local copy.

In the file manager window that opens, select the folder where you want to save the file, its name and format, and click Save.

In addition, you can manually create a local copy of the file at any time.

To do this, follow these steps:

1.Run the save command in one of the following ways:

•Click the button and run the Create local copy command from the main menu.

•On the Home tab, in the File group, click the arrow to the right of the  Save to cloud as button and select Create local copy command from the drop-down list.

•When working in macOS, run File > Create local copy command from the command menu.

2.In the file manager window, select the folder where you want to save the file, specify the file name format of the file and click Save.
