Hi Simon

I'm sorry you've been having troubles.

To save changes in TiddlyWiki5 you just need to click the right-hand of the
three white icons in the sidebar - it's the one that looks like an arrow
pointing into a box. Then the browser will attempt to download the modified
TiddlyWiki5 file as a new file. Typically that means that the file is
dumped into your downloads folder, often with an unrecognisable name.
Better is to configure your browser to prompt for the location of
downloaded files. With that setting, clicking "save" will cause the browser
to prompt for the filename, giving you an opportunity to select the
previous version of the file and replace it.

That technique works on essentially all modern browsers. Managing the file
location is clearly a bit of a hassle, so many users optimise the
experience by using TiddlyFox with Firefox, which makes saving a simple
one-click affair.

Best wishes

Jeremy
