Changes not visible

Even though I can see my work is saved, when I re-open the file none of my changes is visible. Is there any way I can find my work? The file name remained the same.

You just have to wait while Illustrator saves. This will only matter with very large files.

Where do you save your files?

Is "Save in background" turned on in the preferences? What you describe sounds like a typiocal issue that option can cause under certain circumstances.

    Yes, Save in Background is turned on. Is there any other ramifications if I turn it off?

    n the Home screen, if you hover over the title of your file you will see the path to the save location.
