Saving without changing anything

Ana opens the Telling Time Slides, published on 10 March, reads them over, and saves without changing anything.

A save that changes nothing keeps nothing: no new saved version, nothing in the record of activity, and the Slides stay published. They don't show “Changes not published”, which appears only once a save has changed something.

Try it: look at the Slides' history, then read what Ana's save did.

Saving Telling Time Slides with nothing changed

What Ana's save would do: nothing, so the history above is the same after it.

If you saved this

So saving out of habit does no harm. A resource marked “Changes not published” has had a save since it was published that really changed something.
