Hi everyone,

As stated on the title, I can’t really find a way to save progress manually on Numbers, Pages or Keynote on iPad OS.
It’s great that Apple ensure even if we close the app without saving, it will save automatically.
But it’s very frustrating when bad thing happens and the app crashed (or the OS) and turns out the last saved progress weren’t the latest we’ve done.

I understand what you mean and it's definitely something I do on a Mac, but on the iPad have gotten in the habit of tapping the Documents button to auto save and then go back in. There's not really another workaround, but you can give Apple your feature feedback: https://www.apple.com/feedback/pages-ios-ipados.html

Ah, that actually a fine work around! Why didn‘t I think about that before lol.
I would definitely appreciate an old school cmd+s tho. Will surely give Apple some of my feedbacks.
Otherwise Numbers on iPad is adequate for an overly priced MS Excel alternative.
