To save a file, click in the corresponding Document or Smart Tab ribbon tab.

Locations

In DocsPlus Explorer, select a location on the left:

Home - the default location for storing files. It may be on your device or your network. If you're logged into DocsPlus, this points to your Class folder. To learn more, see Explorer Options.
Desktop - browse your desktop and anywhere else on your device/network.
My Documents - browse your documents folder.
Additional - only visible if an optional additional location of your choice has been set.
Removable - only visible if a USB drive is connected.

To customize these locations, see Explorer Options.

You can manage files and folders similarly to Windows Explorer (Mac: Finder):

To copy a file, right-click it and choose Copy. In the new location, right-click an empty area and choose Paste.
To email a file, right-click it and choose Email.
To rename or delete a file/folder, right-click it and choose Rename or Delete.
To create a new folder, right-click an empty area and choose New Folder.
To create a shortcut to another file/folder, right-click an empty area and choose New Shortcut.

The Home location contains a Safe folder.

To prevent a file being overwritten, save it in this folder (or right-click an existing file and choose Copy to Safe).

If someone then tries to edit that file, they'll have to save a copy instead.

To download free Wordbars and WorkSpaces, open the LearningGrids tab.

Whenever a Document is created/opened, DocsPlus quietly makes a backup copy and updates it every minute.

In the rare event that a Document becomes corrupted, DocsPlus will try to open the backup automatically.

To retrieve a backup manually, see the Files section of Manage Options.

Backups are stored for 7 days before being deleted.
