Google Docs not saving your changes
Google Docs saves automatically, so if changes don't save, your internet connection is likely the problem. Check your connection, refresh the page, and try again.
Google Docs saves every change automatically to the cloud. If saving fails, the document goes offline until the connection comes back. Check your internet, refresh the page, and log out and back in if the problem persists.
