Saving documents locally

Hey, everyone.
Newb here, trying to get familiar, forgive me if I’m outta line in any way and please let me know.

Trying to switch my documents to be saved locally instead of on the cloud.
Using LO 25.2.7.2, on a Windows 11 (upgraded from 10, if that matters).
Searched for tips on the web, but the results were unhelpful.

I’ll likely have more questions that are pretty basic (don’t ask…), so again, please bear with me. If I’ve missed something, just point me in the right direction.
Thanks in advance!

That is more MS putting this in front. But with a new document just click on your Documents folder an save the file locally. LibreOffice has no preference for any cloud-storage.
.
But, if you open a document from a place in cloud or network, this location is the default to save changes. Use SaveAs once to ablocal place and your files are on your computer.

  • Definitely checkout the Libreoffice documentation.

  • Not an official libreoffice site, but a very good educational source is libreofficehelp. It has current tutorials that are short and that you can work through as you are reading.
