In chat, I saved an attached document from a project folder and edited it. Why is the document saved into the 'temp' folder? Why can I not save the document back into the 'project' folder?

  • That is because you probably chose ’Open with’ in your browser, instead of ’Save File’, after you downloaded it. If you choose ‘Open with’ and continue editing a file, the file is going to be downloaded to the ‘temp’ folder of your system. If you want to make any changes to that file, the changes will be saved in the ‘temp’ folder.

When I try to upload a file to the chat, I get the following error: File has a Pending Approval!
