Troubleshooting and alternatives

If Save changes? appears when switching projects, choose Cancel to stay in the current project with your draft.

Choose Save in the warning to keep the document in its original project before switching. Wait for the destination project name before continuing work.

Choose Discard only when you want to leave without keeping the latest edits. The document retains its last saved version in the original project.

Wait for the project name to change before starting work in another project. If switching stalls, reload and confirm the selected project before editing.
