Saving a document on a Mac can be a hassle sometimes, especially if you’re new to the Mac ecosystem. Fortunately, there are some tips and tricks to make it easier. In this blog post, we’ll show you how to save documents on Mac like a pro.
Firstly, let’s look at the default save dialogue box. When you hit command-S to save something, you get a compressed little save dialogue that only gives you a few limited options for where to save something. However, you can expand this dialogue to see the full view of your folders and files. Just look for a tiny little square with an arrow in it and click on it. This full view will give you more options for where to save your document.
Secondly, you can add shortcuts to your frequently used folders on the sidebar for quick access. To do this, just go to a folder that you access all the time and drag it to the sidebar on the left. Make sure you put it between two things, so you get the little blue line like this. You can add as many shortcuts as you want. The next time you go to save or open a document, those same shortcuts will show up on the left. It’s a really quick way to get into the stuff that you access all the time.
In summary, expanding the save dialogue box and adding shortcuts to your frequently used folders are two great ways to make saving documents on a Mac easier and more efficient. By following these tips and tricks, you’ll be able to save your documents like a pro in no time.
