Is your feature request related to a problem or unsupported use case? Please describe.
If you type in a doc and try to close the tab you'll see a browser modal like this

This is not what we're selling to users. They to collaborate in real time and not worry about saving at all.

Describe the solution you'd like
We should improve document save so users don't see this modal. On Google Docs or Notion you close without worrying ever.
Ideally we dont want users to click on a save icon, that would be lame for a product like Docs.

Describe alternatives you've considered
You can do 2 things.

  1. Wait a min until doc is saved
  2. Click on the parent document in the left panel to trigger a save. Hacky but works.
