Know whether your document is saved, saving, queued offline, or failed before closing or restoring work.
Where: Editor top bar → save status indicator
Key ideas
- Durability state: The indicator distinguishes local edits from a completed durable checkpoint instead of showing every edit as saved.
- Offline/failure visibility: Queued/offline and failed writes remain visible so the user does not close the editor under a false saved state.
- Collaboration-aware restore: A restore temporarily holds collaborators while the snapshot replaces the document, avoiding concurrent edits into the landing checkpoint.
Steps
- Watch the indicator after editing.
- Wait for Saved before closing or beginning a restore.
- If queued/offline, keep the editor open until connectivity returns.
- If failed, retry/resolve the reported storage or connection issue before leaving.
