As long as they are open in Live Docs, all undo steps need to be saved along, and that will increase the storage size very quickly.

StudioJason Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 Can be a lot of things, but firstly…the Storage indicator can also be a little quirky. Archiving Documents in Files folders, instead of keeping them as Live Docs, can help. Keeping them as Live Docs is like keeping Open Tabs in Safari (or web browser). Similarly, keeping Apps always open without closing them can offer as data usage/memory. ‘It will correct itself or at least try, if you perform Hard Resets of the iPad occasionally, to clear memory caches. Updates and such can add to App file size, so it is why it’s important to always archive outside the app when possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you Archive documents in Files folders, or using Cloud Storage instead of always keeping them as Live Docs. Should reduce better.

loukash Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 Just save them. That will create native Affinity documents.
