    Go to file and click save. If it wasn't saved before, it will ask for a location. You can decide whether it should be in Documents, Downloads, Drive etc. If it is already saved and you want new edits to be saved, click on ctrl+S. It's the shortcut for saving. If you want another copy to be saved, then click on File and then Save As. Save As allows saving as another file with a new name.

    Click on CTRL+s. Or click on File and then Save. Give it a location and hit save. You can go check the location if it saved or not. Don't close the file if it isn't saved. And try again by saving with another name, or at another location.
