Hi, User 18107547074495857947,
 
Google Docs Suite products (Docs, Sheets, etc.) are cloud-based, so you don't need to save like with other products (e.g. Word, Excel, etc.). As you update your document, the file will automatically save your updates, signaled at the top of your screen by the spinning arrows and a cloud with a checkmark.

As for closing it, just close the browser tab or window, or go to another website.
 
Hope this helps!

Thanks, Garth! 

Where can I find an "Intro to Google Docs" training that provides clearer training than Google Docs does, please? I searched Google Docs to answer my questions about Save and Close and found no answer. Just someone else asking the same question, with 267 other people who indicated they had the same question.

What's the easiest way to learn Google Docs, because clearly, Google Docs isn't it!

Is there an online tutorial that will take me through all the features (my first choice).
Or a YouTube video you'd recommend, please?

I don't want to have to come here to ask one question at a time.

Thanks again.
Hi, User 18107547074495857947,
 
My go-to source is the Help Center. Aside from that, Google searches are your friend. Other than the Help Center, I don't have a recommended source, as there is just so much content out there, it's nearly impossible to not find an answer somewhere. If, after that, you're still stumped, then there's always these forums.
 
Hope this helps!
