Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Open your saved document (if still open) IF not, then skip to step #5 

If you just finished filling out your lesson and still have the tab open:

• Look at the top left corner of the document
  
  

• You’ll see the document title, like:
  i.e. “Copy of Week 1 Day 1 – Cost vs. Payoff”
  
  

Step 2: Check where the document is saved

• Look next to the document title for a small folder icon with an arrow
  
  

• Hover over it—it should say "Move"
  
  

• Click on it to view where your file is saved
  
  

Step 3: Move your document (if needed)

• A window will open showing your folders
  
  

• Click on your folder (i.e. "Unchained Leader Docs") 
  
  

• Tap Move to save it there
  
  

Step 4: Close your document tab

If you’re finished for now:

• Click the “X” on the tab to close the document
  
  

• Don’t worry—Google Docs saves automatically
  
  

Step 5: Open Google Drive in a new tab

• Open a new browser tab
  
  

• Type Google Drive into the search bar
  
  

• Click the link that takes you to Google Drive
  
  

Step 6: Make sure you're signed in

• Look at the top right corner of the screen
  
  

• You should see your name or email—this means you’re logged in
  
  

• If not, sign in using your Google account
  
  

Step 7: Go to your Drive homepage

You may see your document under “Recent,” but to be sure:

• Click My Drive or Home on the left sidebar
  
  

• Look for the folder where you saved your document
  
  

Step 8: Open your folder

• Double-click the folder title:
  i.e. "Unchained Leader Docs – [Your Name]"
  
  

• All saved lesson documents should be here
  
  

Step 9: Find and open your saved document

• Look for your saved file (example:  i.e. “Copy of Week 1 Day 1 – Cost vs. Payoff”)
  
  

• Double-click the document to open it
  
  

Step 10: Resume working on your document

• Once it opens, you can continue typing or editing
  
  

• All changes are saved automatically as long as your device is connected to the internet
  
  

• When you’re done, just close the tab again
  
  

You're all set!

You’ve now learned:

• How to check where your document is saved
