excel file not save on ipad

If the Excel auto-save feature is not working on your iPad, you may still have a chance to recover unsaved files. When Excel fails to save changes or if the app crashes, the changes might still be stored in memory. Here are some steps you can take:

1. Check for Recovery Options: When you restart Excel, a document recovery window may open, allowing you to recover the files you were working on.
2. Look for Temporary Files: Sometimes, temporary files are created in the same folder as the original file. Check there for any unsaved versions.
3. Save to a Different Location: If you can access the file in memory, try saving it to a different location, such as your device or a cloud storage service.

If these options do not work, unfortunately, the unsaved changes may be lost. It's always a good practice to save your work frequently, especially when using applications on mobile devices.
