Open and save files
Open a file or start a new document
Section titled “Open a file or start a new document”Use Open or the app’s file menu and select a supported document. Use New to pick an editor. To practice, download the sample meeting notes, edit the heading, and reopen the saved file to check the change.
Save and Save As
Section titled “Save and Save As”- Save updates the current file. If Auto Save is on, edits may be written to the original.
- Save As lets you choose a new name, location, or supported format. Use it before editing when you need to preserve the original.
- After conversion, open the output and review the layout, fonts, formulas, or annotations that matter to you.

XLS and TSV are converted on open. New editable files are saved as XLSX. You can save an opened CSV in place, but Save As CSV exports the current sheet. CSV export is unavailable for files with macros. VSDX is imported into a new diagram and cannot be saved back as VSDX. Fixed-layout EPUBs do not support body editing.
Use the product format guide for editor examples and known limitations.
Choose an output for the task
Section titled “Choose an output for the task”Keep an editable file if you will continue working on it. Use PDF for a fixed preview or a supported export format for another editor. Some PDF conversions use AI and may send relevant content to the selected provider.
Copies and file management
Section titled “Copies and file management”Use clear filenames and save a working copy before major edits. Check where the new file was saved. If the folder is synced, its sync provider may receive the file.
Exchange files with other applications
Section titled “Exchange files with other applications”Fonts, macros, and complex layouts can behave differently. Check a representative file before moving a workflow to another format. See file troubleshooting and the format FAQ.
