00:00:11.360 --> 00:00:15.690
It's important to save your work frequently,
in case Excel (or your computer) shuts down

00:00:15.690 --> 00:00:16.910
unexpectedly.

00:00:16.910 --> 00:00:20.230
But there's more than one way to save in Excel
2013.

00:00:20.230 --> 00:00:23.910
You can also save and share your workbooks
online, so you can collaborate with other

00:00:23.910 --> 00:00:25.470
SkyDrive users.

00:00:25.470 --> 00:00:28.640
We'll take a look at the regular Save command
first.

00:00:28.640 --> 00:00:31.020
You'll find it on the quick access toolbar.

00:00:31.020 --> 00:00:36.120
Just click… and if it's a new workbook,
you'll be taken to the backstage view.

00:00:36.120 --> 00:00:39.530
Here you can save the workbook to SkyDrive
or your computer.

00:00:39.530 --> 00:00:48.960
In this example, we're going to choose Computer…
then click Browse to choose a location.

00:00:48.960 --> 00:00:57.210
Next enter a file name for the workbook…
and click Save when you're done.

00:00:57.210 --> 00:01:00.329
Now you can save anytime as you continue to
work.

00:01:00.329 --> 00:01:05.659
All you have to do is click the Save command
on the quick access toolbar again.

00:01:05.659 --> 00:01:09.229
If you want to save a different version (maybe
in a different location, or with a different

00:01:09.229 --> 00:01:15.560
file name), you can go to Save As in the backstage
view, and follow the same steps.

00:01:15.560 --> 00:01:18.880
As you can see, the selection defaults to
SkyDrive.

00:01:18.880 --> 00:01:23.170
If you primarily save workbooks to your computer,
you might want to change the default setting,

00:01:23.170 --> 00:01:25.780
so Computer is always selected.

00:01:25.780 --> 00:01:30.130
To do this, click Options in the backstage
view.

00:01:30.130 --> 00:01:36.830
Then click Save in the left pane… and check
the box that says Save to Computer by default.

00:01:36.830 --> 00:01:42.060
When you're done, click OK to close the dialog
box.

00:01:42.060 --> 00:01:46.460
If you ever forget to save, or if Excel crashes
while you're working, not to worry.

00:01:46.460 --> 00:01:51.150
The AutoRecover feature saves a backup copy
of your workbook automatically.

00:01:51.150 --> 00:01:55.920
To recover a file that was lost without saving,
all you have to do is reopen Excel.

00:01:55.920 --> 00:01:59.700
The document recovery pane should appear on
the left.

00:01:59.700 --> 00:02:04.040
Here you can access any auto-saved versions
of the file.

00:02:04.040 --> 00:02:07.060
By default, Excel auto-saves every 10 minutes.

00:02:07.060 --> 00:02:10.610
So if you're working on something for less
than 10 minutes, you may not be able to use

00:02:10.610 --> 00:02:12.760
this feature.

00:02:12.760 --> 00:02:16.819
Next I'd like to show you how to export your
file to an alternative file type.

00:02:16.819 --> 00:02:20.890
You can access your options in the backstage
view under Export.

00:02:20.890 --> 00:02:25.930
PDF is a good choice if you need to send a
file to someone who doesn't have Excel.

00:02:25.930 --> 00:02:29.550
This format will make it possible for them
to view but not edit the workbook using a

00:02:29.550 --> 00:02:32.930
free program that anyone can download.

00:02:32.930 --> 00:02:37.680
Under Change File Type, you can access several
other formats depending on what you need.

00:02:37.680 --> 00:02:42.569
For example, if the person you're sharing
with has Excel, but it's Excel 2003 or earlier,

00:02:42.569 --> 00:02:46.910
you'll need to send them a 97-2003 Workbook
instead.

00:02:46.910 --> 00:02:51.840
Finally, let's take a look at more ways that
you can share by going to Share in the backstage

00:02:51.840 --> 00:02:52.970
view.

00:02:52.970 --> 00:02:56.690
Here your choices will vary depending on whether
or not the file is saved to your SkyDrive

00:02:56.690 --> 00:02:58.070
account.

00:02:58.070 --> 00:03:02.660
For example, if it is saved to SkyDrive, you
can share it online, and invite specific people

00:03:02.660 --> 00:03:04.630
to collaborate with you.

00:03:04.630 --> 00:03:08.930
This lets you work on the exact same file
with friends, co-workers, and other SkyDrive

00:03:08.930 --> 00:03:12.870
users, so you don't have to keep track of
multiple versions (or pass the workbook back

00:03:12.870 --> 00:03:14.459
and forth).

00:03:14.459 --> 00:03:19.370
Alternately, you can get a link that you can
share any way you want… or you can post

00:03:19.370 --> 00:03:22.440
the file directly to a social networking site.

00:03:22.440 --> 00:03:26.100
But it's generally best to invite specific
people, unless you have a file that needs

00:03:26.100 --> 00:03:31.209
to be seen or edited by a much wider audience.

00:03:31.209 --> 00:03:35.440
How you choose to save and share in Excel
2013 is up to you—it just depends on the

00:03:35.440 --> 00:03:36.550
workbook.

00:03:36.550 --> 00:03:40.319
With so many options, you should be able to
accomplish exactly what you need, whether

00:03:40.319 --> 00:03:43.620
it's exporting your file as a PDF, or sharing
it online.
