2019-07-28 Thread Anne Robertson
Hello Craig, As far as I know, you can’t do this. It did it when iCloud Drive was in use because the Documents folder was in iCloud Drive, ready to be shared with other devices. However, in the File menu, you can find Recents which will offer you the documents you’ve been working on lately. Che
