I noticed yesterday while trying to work with other Code4Libers on a document summarizing the Lightning Talks that the Save button had disappeared. Now this AM when I went to edit a personal document I only needed to make one small change and went to hit ‘Save & Close’ and had to wait for the auto-save before closing the document.
Has anyone else noticed this? Or seen documentation explaining why such an essential function has been removed?

Yup, I noticed it… hmmmm… Tuesday, I think. I miss my save and close button.
Yeah, confusion all around. I was really happy when I discovered the little disc-icon on the left on the menu bar. “Just like word!” :-/
But I do miss the old “save” and “save & Close” on the right:-)
That doesn’t make sense
’save’ is a function of every word processing program!!
[...] « Did Google Docs Change? [...]
Yes, it looks like it’s been exiled to the disk icon and separate ‘Save’ and ‘Close’ options on the file menu. Does anybody know if Google has a blog or feed for their updates to the Docs applications?
Here’s a posting about it:

and here’s a blog for Google Documents:

But it doesn’t look like they posted about it. Just rolled it out…I like the old “save” button myself…
Yeah, I had the exact same reaction yesterday when I went to update my files. It was a strange and sudden change in my opinion. I also liked the save and close button.
At least the save icon is still around.
