Why is my editing not saving

[Elouise22256662j3gx]

Help-

I've uploaded the new Version of Lightroom and I uploaded new photos and started to Edit, to my dismay I've noticed that the editing I've done has not saved and for the life of me I cannot figure out why.  When I export my Photos is so clear that none of my editing was saved ... I'm going crazy can someone please help ... 

thank you

in the future, to find the best place to post your message, use the list here, https://community.adobe.com/

p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.

What format did you choose for exporting? If you export as 'Original', then that is what you'll get: the original photo, so without edits. If you export as DNG, then the edits will not be applied to the pixels but will be stored in the metadata of the DNG. Only Adobe apps understand that and will show the edits. To export an edited photo choose JPEG or TIFF.
