    Hi Nicholas Martinez

    Saving the file under C:\Users\(user)\OneDrive\SCIENCE 7 places it in the local OneDrive folder, but it will only appear online after OneDrive successfully syncs it.

    Please try the following:

    1. Open OneDrive on the web and confirm that you are signed in with the same Microsoft account used on the computer.
    2. Search for the file name and check the Recycle bin.
    3. Select the OneDrive cloud icon near the clock and check for a paused state, sign-in request, storage warning, or sync error.
    4. If the file is still missing, open the SCIENCE 7 folder on the OneDrive website and use Upload > Files to upload the .html file directly. This does not require Command Prompt or administrator access.

    Also note that OneDrive may store the HTML file, but it is not designed to host and run an HTML game as a public website.

    Hope this helps. Please feel free to let me know if you need any further assistance
