Hi,

I don't see a Save As ... feature in Note. Am I missing it?

My normal workflow for other softwares is to open a project, work on it for some amount, then make a decision to either save the updated project as a next version (e.g. by doing Save As ... and appending a number to the name), or else discard and reload the prior saved version to start over.

Can I work this way in Note?

If not, what would be the procedure to save known milestones with (slightly, or greatly) differing names?

I think you’ll have to start with a duplicate instance. And then decide whether or not to keep it. It’s a reverse ‘in advance’ approach but it’s essentially the same concept.

Thanks for your reply!

I should probably add that I find this situation cripplingly limiting.

While I am very favorably impressed with the overall design and UI of Note, this immediately destructive workflow undoes all of the other good work.

Files should only be overwritten when the user says to do so. Files should be saveable under a new name at any time.

These are basics of human/computer interaction.

Please fix this ASAP, and you'll have a really good thing going on!
