Rename a Google Sheet correctly and resume your work!
You can rename a sheet as we explained above, and as long as you stay signed in, your work-in-progress sheet is automatically saved.
If you want to download a sheet, you can go to the “File” tab at the top left of a sheet, click the “Download,” and choose one of the formats you want to generate. The file is typically downloaded in the “Download” folder on your PC.
You can take the same approach as the one you take to rename a sheet. When you open a new sheet, it is usually not named. So, you can go to the text box at the top left of a sheet, where you can see the words “Untitled spreadsheet.” Then, when you click the text box, it becomes editable. You can type in a file name there.
