Reloading a Document

Reloading is useful in two situations.

• You may want to discard all the changes made in an editing session after the last document save.
• You may have made some formatting changes that do not show until the document has been closed and reopened; reloading has the same result.

To reload a document, go to File → Reload on the Menu bar. If you have made changes to a file since the last save, a confirmation dialog will warn you that reloading will discard your last changes. Choose whether to save or discard the changes.

On reloading the document, the File dialog does not open, because the file is already selected.
