What This Does

Saving keeps the document you are writing so you can come back to it later, and so it appears in your list of saved documents.


Who is This For?

This is helpful for:

  • Anyone working on something over more than one sitting
  • Students keeping drafts of an assignment
  • Anyone who wants their writing available on their other computer

Step 1: Write Something

Type your text into the Notepad.


Step 2: Click Save

Click Save in the toolbar. It is the disk icon, just to the right of the divider.

Where Your Document is Kept

Documents are stored by your browser and synced with your browser profile, so if you are signed into the same browser on another computer, your documents follow you there.

They are not stored on a Helperbird server, and they are not shared with anyone.


If Saving Fails

If you see a message saying the document could not be saved, it is usually because it is too large for your browser's sync limit.

  • Break a very long document into two
  • Remove large pasted images
  • Or download it as a Word or text file to keep a copy outside the browser

Helperbird will tell you when a save fails rather than letting you think it worked.

It used to be a little rough but the Helperbird support team gave me access to the beta and can't wait for it to be released. Giving it 5 stars mostly for support and the upcoming features.
