"Save as.." should be "Make a copy" #195

Closed schanzer closed 6 years ago

Anyone who can save at all is already a GDocs user, and "Save as" has no meaning to them. Let's stick with the GDocs convention instead.

I disagree that following GDocs conventions is at all helpful, or that we can assume teachers are “GDocs users”.

The old interface did the same thing as GDocs on rename, and it really annoyed some teachers.

Interesting. I was always under the impression that people would be GDocs users, since they need a google ID to log in and all files are saved to GDrive. But even if that's not true, "Make a copy" is a far more common-sense phrase than "Save As".

Split the difference: "Save a copy..."

shriram commented 7 years ago

"Save a copy" is better than either of the previous options!

Personally, I think "save a copy" gets us most of the way there for #205, and does a great job here. "Save a copy to my Drive" would be even clearer, but it's so too long.
