Save asks where first
The Save button at the bottom right opens a chooser rather than saving immediately. Pick a destination and it does the rest.
This device
The whole activity — question, link, QR code, the finished cloud and every answer. This is the one that can be opened again.
The picture
A picture of the word cloud on its own, for a newsletter or a slide. It stays sharp at any size.
Google Drive or OneDrive
Your own cloud storage, in a folder called schoolwords, so you can pick the activity up on another machine.
Saving to the cloud
Choosing Google Drive or OneDrive leads to a second screen that tells you which account it will use, lets you name the file, and names the folder it will go into. Nothing is written until you confirm.
School Words asks for permission to that one folder, not to your whole drive. It cannot see files it did not create.
Keep saving automatically
At the foot of the Save panel is a switch. Once you have saved an activity to a cloud service, School Words keeps that same file up to date on its own while the activity is running, so a lesson that runs long is not lost.
It never creates a file by itself — it only updates one you saved deliberately — and it stops and tells you if it fails repeatedly rather than retrying quietly for the rest of the lesson.
Tips
Save to a file if you want a record you control. Save to the cloud if you want to carry on from another room.
The picture and the activity are different things. A .svg cannot be reopened as an activity — that is what .schoolWords is for.
