Save As / Recent Files Pull Down

Hey there!

Did you just upgrade from an earlier OS version?

There is the “Recents” folder in the Finder sidebar, which is sort of a smart folder created by the OS, this location won’t be available as a location to save documents.

There’s also “Recent Items” which is an option from the Apple menu, is this what you’re referring to?

I believe there used to be a Recent Items type option on older OS’’ under the “Go” menu, may now just have “Recent Folders”.

Maybe these articles can help!:
