Excel 2016

Lesson – Using Basic Workbook Skills

C LOSING A W ORKBOOK  D ISCUSSION When you have finished working on a workbook, you can close it to remove it from the application window.

If you try to close a workbook without saving the most recent changes, Excel prompts you to save it. You can choose to save the changes made to the workbook, or you can close the workbook without saving the changes.

NOTE You can also close an open workbook by clicking the Close Window button at the far top right corner of the application window. However, this will also exit the application if you close the last workbook that is open. The Excel AutoRecover feature, available on the Save page in the Excel Options dialog box, saves a temporary file at timed intervals. In this way, you can retrieve changes made to a workbook if Excel exits without saving them (e.g., due to a power failure or similar problem).
