Save Documents to your Desktop

While you can check out a document to edit it, you can also open and save it to your local machine. To save a document, choose Open from the document’s Actions menu and click Save when prompted on the File Download window.

This option restricts your access to read-only for that document, just as opening the document for read-only restricts your access. If you want to make changes to the document and then save them back to the application, make sure you first check out the document.
