When opening a document, I get a blank page with "Loading" message, but the document never loads. What should I do?
If you are unable to open documents, the possible reasons could be:
- You have been disconnected from the Internet or it is too slow.
- Your browser settings are improper - Enable JavaScript if that is the case.
- Your browser is not supported - Try a different browser and open the document again.

Try reloading the document again using a combination of "Shift+Refresh" keys after a few minutes. If the problem still persists mail your concern to assisthelp@entrepreneur.com.
How do I organize my documents in folders?

You can add a tag by clicking the blue tag icon, present at the bottom of each document (third icon from left), and enter the tags of your choice. Tag similar documents and have such a tag added on the left panel by clicking on the particular tag and selecting "Add to left panel" option (having a tag as a folder).

How does document versioning work?
Whenever a user creates a new document an initial version 1.0 is earmarked to the document. On each specific save of the document, version is updated.

In between versions, we periodically auto-save your document to prevent data loss.
