Here's a suggested re-write of the above paragraph: > *TiddlyWiki has a built-in mechanism that works by creating a modified copy of your TiddlyWiki file every time you save your changes.* *Depending on your browser settings, TiddlyWiki will ask you to select a location to save the modified copy or will save the file automatically to a previously designated default "Downloads" folder. Although this procedure uses the browser's standard download method, it can also work **directly with **files stored on your computer and does not require an internet connection. You can update your original TiddlyWiki file by choosing to overwrite it with the modified copy.* *The saver methods listed below generally require some additional software installation, are attempts to make this workflow easier and provide varying additional features.* I have repeatedly referred to Tiddlywiki as tiddlywiki files to separate > the brand from the tangible items user is familiar with. > Although "TiddlyWiki file" is perfectly acceptable, I often refer to a "TiddlyWiki document" to emphasize the difference between the "application functionality" and the "data instance".
