I can't find the "save as" option, in order to save my changes to the correct path.
I've opened a document in dropbox - I've made revisions to that document that are intended for a different file. Typically you go to file and click on "save as" and drop it into the new folder. I've tried to find a way to export that document as well and then click save as - but I'm not able to find any of these options. What I don't want to do is keep the revisions made within this document that was originally intended for a different client - this would be a HUGE issue. So I have 2 issues - how do I ensure the changes made are not saved into the original folder and how do I "save as" to the alternative folder. This seems crazy that I have to go to this extreme for such a simple task. Can someone help? My thanks in advance. Christine

Hey JChristine, let's jump right into this!
Can you clarify which platform you're using when editing the file? Are you on our mobile app, desktop app or using the website?
Additionally, what type of file are you referring to? If you could walk me through the steps that you follow when editing, and saving the file, that'd be amazing.
If you've already made these changes, the best thing to do would be to use a previous file version, in order to recover the file to its old state.
Let me know more, and we'll take it from there!
