title: Saving with the HTML5 fallback saver
type: text/vnd.tiddlywiki

This method of saving changes is clunky but has the advantage of working on almost all desktop browsers, and many mobile browsers.

# [[Download]] an empty TiddlyWiki by clicking this button:
#> {{$:/editions/tw5.com/snippets/download-empty-button}}
#> Your browser may ask you to accept the download before it begins
# Locate the file you just downloaded
#* You may rename it, but be sure to keep the `.html` extension
# Open the file in your browser
# Try creating a new tiddler using the ''plus'' {{$:/core/images/new-button}} button in the sidebar. Type some content for the tiddler, and click the {{$:/core/images/done-button}} ''tick'' button
# Save your changes by clicking the {{$:/core/images/save-button}} ''download'' button in the sidebar
# Your browser will download a new copy of the wiki incorporating your changes
# Locate the newly downloaded file and open it in your browser
# Verify that your changes have been saved correctly

''Tip'': most browsers have an option to prompt each time for the download location. This allows you to select the existing version of the file and replace it.
