Save a Numbers file locally and a copy to iCloud

I have a Numbers file I want to save both locally and to iCloud Numbers.

Is there a way to have Numbers automatically save a copy on iCloud BUT keep the working copy on my Mac?

I think this would be making a back-up of the working copy to the cloud?

I'm not sure how else to word this.

Thank you for your help.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 10.15

If you have iCloud Drive activated (System Preferences > Apple ID > iCloud Drive and Numbers configured to use iCloud Drive (behind the Options... button next to iCloud Drive) then your documents will automatically be saved both on your Mac (in the iCloud Drive folder) and up in the cloud (accessible by Numbers for iCloud).

If you are using a backup system like Time Machine (if you aren't yet then now is the time to start!) then the copy of the document saved in iCloud Drive on your Mac will also be backed up in your backup system.
