    How to save the page?
    Community Answer
    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.
