How to Save Documents to your local computer

Saving your Note

It is very possible to save your drafted notes or work to your local computer device or other devices. This is because you might want to have your important documents or drafts organised. To complete this task, navigate your mouse to ‘File’ on the menu bar and then select ‘Save As’.

You will be presented with a dialog box that will prompt you to enter any ‘Filename’ of your choice. Also, on the ‘Save as type’ select ‘Text Files’

The dialog box will open using the document’s title as the filename. However, in the event that the document title is empty, it will use ‘Untitled Note’. In this case, you may decide to change the filename. You can also change the file extension by selecting ‘Text Files’ from the ‘Save as type’, as shown in the image. By default, it will use HTML Files, which is not the most common file type for plain text files, instead select Text Files’.

After following the process above, you then click the Save button to store the file in your chosen folder on your computer. It will save the text file. You can find the saved file in your Downloads folder, or any other folder you have chosen.
