How to Change my Browser Settings to Name Files as I Save Them

Each web browser can be configured to replicate the Save As functionality. Please take note that the new configuration will affect any file it downloads. Below you’ll find instructions for each modern web browser:

 

Google Chrome

  • Click on the icon in the top right corner and choose Settings from the dropdown list.

  • Toggle the switch next to Ask where to save each file before downloading.

Google Chrome will then be updated to open a Browse Window each time a file is downloaded.

 

Mozilla Firefox

  • Click on the icon in the top right corner and choose Settings.

Firefox will now open a Browse Window as you download files.

 

Microsoft Edge

At this time, there is no way to configure Microsoft Edge to ask you about saving a file. Once this becomes available, we will update this section. All files will download to the Downloads folder on your computer.

 

Safari

To change the default download location of your Safari browser.

Click on the "Edit Menu" > Preferences > General tab.

Locate the "Save downloaded files to" section, click on "Downloads" > "Other"...

Browse and indicate your new download location.

 

We have two additional modules. The OCR module allows you to recognize and edit text within any scanned document or image. We also have the E-Sign module that allows you to electronically sign PDFs and track and manage e-signatures in real-time. If those modules are not available for you, you can purchase them here.
