I love having the navigation pane in the query editor so I can go back and forth between queries without loading them. However, I've been losing some work from time to time* and it occurs to me to wonder when and how these changes get saved.

If you go in and group and rename queries, do you have to close and load one of them to save the changes?

* I guess I can't TOTALLY rule out the possibility that I'm coding in my sleep and just dreaming that I made changes! Who knows? :)
 

Excel Facts

Format cells as date
Select range and press Ctrl+Shift+3 to format cells as date. (Shift 3 is the # sign which sort of looks like a small calendar).
Let's put it like this: One weakness of Power Query currently is that there is no "undo"-button. So the only way to not save your work is to close the whole workbook without saving (and therefore loosing all other work you've done as well).

Sorry, but I think this answers your question :)
