This document relates to preserving input data. One example includes obtaining a request that a service perform processing on input data to produce an output representation of the input data. This example also includes applying criteria to the request, and preserving the input data responsive to determining that the criteria are met.

Conditional saving of input data

A container document can include a file node indicating a file and pointing to a location for the file that is separate from the container document on a server. An embedded relationship between the file and the container document can be imitated. The imitation can include responding to user input by performing the update on the file node, and by requesting that the server perform an update on the file that reflects the update performed on the file node. A request for an update to be performed on the file node can be received from a client at the server. In response to the request, the update can be performed on the file node at the server. A corresponding update, which reflects the update performed on the file node, can also be performed on the file at the server.
