Thanks Callum, I couldn't get a screen recording but here's a screen grab. AD seemed to just forget any file name when you went to Save or Save As.

iPadOS 16.6.1 on iPad 9th Gen

Updated the iPadOS to 16.6.2, which became available just after your reply and it seems to be back to normal for now.

From that screenshot, your file in Live Docs is "untitled.afdesign", so that's what the Save or Save As will start out with. If you provide a new name, and finish the Save operation, the name will (or should) be changed in Live Docs, too. Then, your next Save As should start with that name in the dialog.

I know you said the iPadOS update fixed it, but if it happens again, you might consider this.

ALL the files I was working of HAD meaningful file names when they were created or opened first! Client, date, version etc.

I then worked on the files, went to save them and was met with the file names being replaced by Untitled. Even when I'd saved as a new file name.

It has made file management very difficult.

Were these all files you'd Saved before, and did you just update your iPad to iPadOS 17.0, perhaps?

I wonder because some users have reported losing all their files from Live Docs after the iPadOS upgrade, and perhaps you have a similar problem but for you the files remained in Live Docs but lost their file names.
