Master Excel—Lesson 2: Save Smarter, Work Safer, Start Faster

Build on Lesson 1 with a friendly, hands-on guide to the habits that protect your work and speed up your day. In plain language and short steps, Lesson 2 shows you how to launch Excel (and open files the easy way), create blank sheets or use ready-made templates, and—most importantly—save without stress. You’ll practice core routines like Save vs. AutoSave, when to use Save As for clean versions, and how to recover your work with AutoRecover if something goes wrong. You’ll also learn where OneDrive fits in, how Version History helps undo big mistakes, and how to check Compatibility so teammates on older Excel can still open your files. Clear screenshots, tiny tasks, and everyday analogies turn “file management” into quick wins you can use at school, at work, or at home—today.

Short steps. Plain words. Useful results.
