Introduction

This page explains how to save your document in the Editor and what happens when you do.

Lawmaker also auto-saves your documents every 2 minutes. And you can save a snapshot of your document at any time.

How to save a document

...

To save changes in your document, do one of the following:

...

  • Continue working on your changes, which will use the auto-save snapshot to restore the last auto-saved version, or

  • Discard your changes, which will open the last manually saved version of the document (and discard the auto-saved version).

nameSaving snapshots of your document

Saving snapshots of your document

You can save a snapshot of the document you are editing at any time. This will create a copy of the document in its current state and save it as a snapshot in the document’s version history without affecting the main version of the document (i.e. the one that is saved when you press the Save button).

To save a snapshot:

  1. In the upper toolbar, select Document>Take snapshot.

  2. Edit the snapshot name in the Version Label field (it is set to “Saved” by default)

  3. Click OK.
